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

I want to create a classroom with flexible seating that allows students to take charge of their learning and make the choices that work best for them. Ensuring students are comfortable in the classroom can motivate them to focus more.

The opportunity to teach second-grade Dual Language will be new and exciting.

I want to ensure that the students have what they need in the classroom to have a better learning time. Students should have a welcoming classroom where they feel comfortable expressing who they are. I want each student to come in ready to learn together.

Ms. Martinez Gloria Casarez Elementary School Grades PreK-2
