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

As a classroom teacher for 16 years, I had the privilege to help shape my student's life. As I begin a new school year I want to continue to provide for my students and create a positive environment for them.

A classroom should be a place where students feel welcomed and feel free to make mistakes and learn from it.

They should understand that every mistakes comes with a valuable lesson. With this project I'm requesting three different sets of motivational posters to put up around the classroom. I believe each poster has a great message that will resonate with my students. I'm also requesting some bright color bulletin board papers and borders to make the classroom more welcoming for my students. The classroom should be a place where my kids rejoice. I would truly appreciate it if you can play a role in making it happen.
