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 are ready to embrace reading as a way to open the doors to their wildest dreams. Research shows how important it is to welcome our children into a social, emotionally aware classroom where they are able to express their true selves throughout the learning process.

The products that I have selected will help my students by giving them the confidence to make more effective learning choices.

Updated book cases, calming color palates and inspirational messages will help foster a spirit of respect not only for reading but for their peers.

It is crucial for our students to know how important a clean inviting space can impact their mental health and well being. I have seen how these small changes can positively affect my students mood, work ethic and demeanor and hope that these small touches will help us grow even more!
