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

When walking into my classroom I want students to feel they can choose resiliency, empathy and what is best for their learning.

The classroom should be a place students feel chosen.

Each day, they continue to want to learn. Putting up welcoming posters, having alternative seating styles, and getting the essential supplies they need, all of these create a difference in their learning.

Although teachers themselves, through words and actions, show how much they care for their students, a well decorated classroom that shows students endless empathy and love sets it in stone. Especially with the pandemic, students need to come in to an environment where they can activate their learning and social well being alongside academics.

When they walk into the room, preparing pouches with necessary supplies will also gear their learning to get them ready to go faster in the classroom.

For many of our students, reading can feel like a daunting task, especially when also having to focus on sitting up straight. Items such as the bean bag chairs will allow students a feeling of comfort when reading books so they can learn to love reading.
