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 Students

My students are a departmentalized group of excited 5th graders. They love making science and math come to life in the classroom and interacting with each other.

The students of room 203 are adventurous learners and excited by all tasks that they partake in.

My Project

This is my first year as a teacher, teaching math and science to 5th grade. I want to help the kids be successful with classroom management and organization. I want to make sure the kids have a fun learning environment and are ready for the rest of the school year with everything we need in the classroom.

These supplies will help grow my students growth mindset, set solid routines and create an environment where all are welcome.

My students are excited to learn and are working on their social skills after the past year.
