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

As a special education teacher, I am constantly thinking of ways to engage my students and take their learning to the next level. As a teacher of students who come from low-income housing, I strive to make learning accessible for all of them. The look on their faces when they are able to use manipulatives, change seats and be in control of their own learning is like no other. I know that this project will benefit my class and will help me tremendously in delivering effective and engaging lessons!
