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

I work with a large culturally and linguistically diverse group of amazing learners, which includes K-3rd grade levels. Our classroom environment is warm, welcoming, and student-friendly. My students are an amazing group of individuals with various abilities. Our classroom is full of students who are ready to learn and put forth great effort.

The binding spines will be used to bind our reading, writing, and math workbooks.

The labels will be used to label the book covers of our workbooks. The white boards will be used during writing and math centers. We are replenishing our basic materials including colored pencils, pens, pencil top erasers, and white board cloths. The stickers charts will be used to reward my students for completing their work and earn incentive prizes from our treasure box. The timers will help my students transition from one activity to the next.
