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

As a first-year teacher, I am very excited to meet my new group of students! I cannot wait to teach and grow with them on this new adventure. However, as a new teacher, I need a little support...which is why I have decided to create this project in hopes of gaining a little help.

I have added some classroom tools that I think will help my students through their new journey through the 1st grade.

For example, all my students will be able to use these materials in different ways. Like flexible seating in our classroom library, math, and writing tools to work with hands-on, and supplies necessary to decorate our future classroom.

Thank you!
