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

Organization is key for a teacher, but more important for a student! The organization helps with structure, transitions, and effectiveness. It eliminates time lost looking for supplies! Since I am an intervention teacher, I have limited time with my students. In our reading groups, there are many materials that we use daily. My students need help organizing them. I also want them to be comfortable. I need another bean bag chair so they will not fight over the other one.Also, organization is key to classroom management when everyone can find their things and focus on their learning.
