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 Students

Help these bundles of energy get centered! My students are young, excitable, and need a way to focus their energy in a positive way. Therefore, this year I have set out to make the most engaging classroom centers possible to make learning fun and get these curious minds up and moving!

I believe school should be a positive outlet for all students, especially mine.

My students not only struggle with emotional-behavioral and academic deficits, but they also come from low socio-economic backgrounds. They spend a significant time of their days in school, and I am desperate in trying to make it the most fun and engaging learning experience possible for them!

My Project

A handy laminating machine (and laminating pouches) will allow me to create a more print-rich, colorful, and engaging classroom environment. Also, the first step to creating a fabulous literacy center would be to create a student-accessible organizer, where spelling words, vocabulary, and literacy skills and strategies are readily available.

By establishing a love for learning early on, I strongly believe I can help facilitate the development of lifelong learners and contributing future members of society!

School doesn't have to be boring.
