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

When it comes to children learning a new language, it may be challenging especially when you still haven't mastered the basics in your own home language.

The students in our classrooms should never sense any barriers to their learning.

The supplies such as the write and wipe sentence strips, speech balloons and game buzzers can open the doors to creativity and play through learning. What I love about my students are their eagerness to succeed in their academic setting! Together we can create a culturally relevant learning environment for them and all we really need are simple tools to do so!
