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

What's a better way than welcoming parents and students next school year with an organized classroom. I am asking for a new alphabet whole group rug, calming strategies posters, bulletin board paper and bulletin board borders.

The items requested are calm colors, this upcoming school I would like to transform my overstimulated classroom into a calm environment.

Working with students with special needs we need to take into consideration that having too much color can be over stimulating for them. Students tend to learn in an environment with warm light colors.
