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

Flexible seating is important to have for an efficient classroom and I want my students to have the best environment possible for their learning. Having a carpet for our meeting area will benefit students during our whole group learning and have pillows will allow them to meet in small groups comfortably. Having the math manipulatives such as the time clocks will allow all of my students to have hands on learning. The geometry set will allow students to explore shapes to better comprehend the content.

Allowing students to learn through STEM is an important aspect of learning.

I am hoping that the math resources I have added to this project will better prepare my students for this upcoming school year. I have also added a rolling cart to have these resources accessible to my students.
