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

We start each day with a special greeting before walking into the classroom. After, students participate in "fun Brain" questions, getting them ready for the day!

I have a wonderful classroom of ELL students!

They are so eager to learn and love being at school. Our school is a warm, fun place to be, and you can tell our students enjoy being here every day! Everyone follows the same school/classroom expectations, making it a safe learning environment where students are motivated to learn.

My Project

We need organizers to organize several Daily 5 activities, which will make it easier for students to access all the materials. When students do Daily 5 each day, they need to choose an activity that they would like to work on. Having these organizers will make it easier for students to access all the Daily 5 materials. I believe it is important that students not only learn the academics, but life long skills, which include organization. That is why I would love for them to be able to organize their materials in an easy way!

Making our classroom a better place to be is always making a difference.

My students take pride in their classroom and I am always looking for ways to make it a better place for them to work in!
