Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

YAY for a new school year! I didn't meet my students yet, but when they are introduced to our classroom, I want them to be excited and ready for a wonderful learning adventure!

The "We Stick Together" theme will allow me to provide a welcoming and positive environment for my students.

The classroom environment is so important for students to feel comfortable and in a safe space where they can learn and grow.

There are some other items here that will also help with positive rewards and keeping workspaces organized. The book baggies will allow my students to have a durable bag to take from school to home to build their love of reading. The clipboards allow for my students to work in a flexible seating arrangement around our classroom. Both myself and my new students would be so appreciative if we would be able to have these items in our classroom!
