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 Students

My students from Indiana are part of an amazing set of kids. They are entering a 2nd grade classroom where there will be many different cultures and backgrounds.

I want my classroom to feel like a family and they know they will be loved, the second they step into my classroom!

My students are excited and eager to come to class every day!

My Project

I am a first-year teacher and I want to organize my library, so it is easy for my 2nd graders to find what they want to read! During rotations and silent reading time, my students will have the opportunity to pick from my classroom library. The bookshelves listed in this project will help organize, so the students can quickly and efficiently find what they want to read.

I also added flexible seating options in this project for when students read, they have an option to choose from!

Also, they will have flexible seating options during instruction! I love reading and I want my students to fall in love with reading just like I did in 2nd grade!
