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

Starting my students off for the school year with an excitement for learning is what I know will keep them motivated all year long. Finding books and activities that I know will engage them from the start is what I always aim to do. Not every student learns in the same manner or will succeed in the same parts of school.

In order to help my students see how their differences are what will make them a classroom community, I want to incorporate activities such as making magic bead bracelets and reading All The Ways To Be Smart.

I know that by starting them off reading to work together with all the parts that make them special, we will have an amazing year growing, learning, and sharing together!
