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

They say that organization is a sign of self-respect, so help us create a respectful classroom! This project will set up our classroom to start the year with everything we need to learn and stay organized, such as seat sacks, bookshelves and boxes, and learning essentials like pencils, dry erase boards, markers, crayons, and other basic supplies.

Please help me help my students learn to be responsible for themselves, their materials, and their learning.

Students will practice important skills of organization as they learn to take care of their materials and be responsible for their work. They will allow students an opportunity to practice self-regulation and provide flexibility in seating and choice for students in where they feel they learn best. It is crucial that we teach kids how to listen to themselves and take care of themselves in order to set them up for future success.
