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

This new year I will be servicing English Language Learners and their families in the role of ENL Coordinator. All of the students that will be coming to this classroom are in the journey of acquiring a English as a New Language and growing in their multilingualism. With a new classroom, it is important that the space is transformed into a safe, cozy place conducive to learning. All of the items have been carefully selected in order to achieve this goal. From the Chart papers that will serve as anchor charts, to the portable white board, and bulletin board borders, all will be used to enhance the students learning experience. All of the items will help with the day to day organization and classroom essentials.
