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

These easy-clean room dividers will be used throughout the day. I will use these room dividers for various purposes, such as creating spaces for my students. I will create a space for my students to take a break when needed. I will also use the room dividers to create a space for independent and group workstations. I can also use the room dividers to block areas that will be “closed.”

I can simply create a space for my students to work on their academic skills without distractions.

I can use the room dividers to have numerous developmental play areas for my students to rotate to. The room dividers will cut visual distractions for my students. They will also increase my students' learning environment by helping them stay more focused on their tasks.
