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

My goal is to build a colorful inviting classroom that promotes learning and collaboration. With school essentials such as crayons, markers, an easel and bulletin board letters, my students and I can decorate our classroom and have an engaging place to display our academic content. As a second year teacher, I find it extremely important that students have access to essential materials in the classroom such as paper, dry erase markers and easels for mathematics and much more.

This project will allow my students to express themselves while also meeting their classroom necessities.

With the wipes we can keep the classroom sanitized and tidy during this upcoming cold season. Please help me give my students a few of their classroom essentials in order to prepare them for 4th grade!
