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

My students always have smiles on their faces, and they are eager learners. My students are brilliant, they love to create and build things. They love learning and the opportunity to engage in reading. They love all subjects, subject integration is necessary in the 21st century. We need to encourage this generation to be active learners. These students work hard every day. Engaging the students in reading using organized, accessible, and grade-level materials will support the students in their learning.

My goal is to have each student see themselves as an active and engaged reading student.

I have included books, pencil boxes, and an organization shelf that will hold reading bins for easy student access. The organizer will also be used to store items for dress-up during free play. These materials are essential to keep materials organized and accessible to all students.

Please help me create a more effective learning environment and set the stage for more magic and organized reading in my classroom.
