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

The "Peaceful tropical Night Rug" item in my cart will ensure a calming and soothing effect of natural surroundings can promote relaxation and a sense of well-being. The "Emerald green Fadeless" paper roll in my cart will be an addition to our classroom theme. A nature themed classroom can help improve students concentration and attention span.

My goal for this project is to ensure my students are able to have a home away from home.

Our classroom can be a place students find peace and relaxation which will assist to their growth academically, mentally and emotionally.

What makes my students special is that our classroom is a ICT setting. An ICT classroom is designed to create a challenging and enriching environment for both general education students and children with Individualized Education Plans.
