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

Students are successful when their environments are welcoming! As a new teacher I strive to deliver the perfect environment for my students. I am a firm believer that every student deserve to feel comfortable and at home when they enter their classroom. Helping me with this project will help students feel comfortable in an environment that motivates them in their learning with carpet, printer, storage, decor paper and name plates. Students are more engaged in learning when they have a safe and organized classroom to walk into every day.

Please help to give my students the classroom they need to achieve academic success!
