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 amazing students will benefit tremendously with the items requested to encourage participation, focus, and social emotional learning. Flexible seating options are important to encourage independent work time.

The ultimate goal is for students to be motivated to excel in their academics and gain skills for success.

The writing utensils and whiteboards will help the students interact in the classroom as we learn new concepts and review previous content.

My students will be encouraged to utilize our calming area when needed and use the items donated.

In our classroom, we will use all the materials daily in our learning.
