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

Welcome to the last one hundred and eighty days of elementary school. I can’t believe we are already into the second week. We have started out the year and gotten to know each other but our class needs a few more items. The biggest need would be paper. This year we are only getting a limited amount and when servicing students with disabilities and in this technological world, my students need as much scaffolding as possible through the use of pre-printed notes. COVID is also on the rise again, so I want to make sure that we are keeping our classroom clean and our students in school so they can be successful. And who doesn’t love a little extrinsic motivation? A little bit of sweets for my sweet bunch

Ms. Smith Broad Rock Elementary School Grades 3-5
