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

For this upcoming school year, I want to help maintain a peaceful, prepared, and welcoming environment.

It's important that my classroom has motivational posters and inspiring words, resources to assist in content areas, resources to utilize for our workspaces, devices that enhance learning, and more.

The document camera will help students succeed in many subjects, but my goal is to improve their public speaking skills and presentation of work in mathematics and other core subjects. Students will have real time visuals and assistance throughout their learning.

The laminator will help the classroom poop with the creation of a personalized [and dustproof] word wall!

Please help me and my classroom POP and start the year the way these kids need to! The resources included in this project are guaranteed to be used upon receipt, and will certainly spark joy for me as the educator, and for the students above all.
