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

Our daily use of centers for both ELA and math requires both the students and I to use many different resources. By helping provide these materials, you can help support their learning during this crucial time of the day, centers is when students get that one on one assistance for improvement. The whiteboard will allow use of anchor charts and modeling strategies. The stacking stools will allow for some flexible seating during our academic learning time. The doorbell will help facilitate rotations during centers. The mobile desk will allow for easier transition around the room to help attend to different student needs.
