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

This year we will be doing a lot of group work and activities. The students need the tools to complete various projects and being able to access materials and share them is vital to a collaborative classroom. The many packs of coloring materials will make access easier for each group. The many expo markers will make for a smoothly run class.

Students use individual white boards each day in math and having markers on hand keeps the math flowing!

I also decided on scissors both right and left handed to keep my classroom equitable for all.
