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

My first-grade students, many of whom are Neurodiverse learners and English Language Learners, benefit greatly from a learning environment that supports their diverse needs. The structure of our classroom is critically important for our student’s learning. The environment needs to be predictable. We need separate areas for the different centers and areas of work (independent work, group work, break time, etc.). These areas need to be visually divided so that the student can focus on the work in that area and not be distracted. This will keep my students safe, calm, and focused during the day.
