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

My Special Education Life skills students have worked hard in reaching and meeting their goals this school year from learning how to write with correct spacing, add with visuals, identify upper and lower case letters, read their list of sight words and so much more!

I would love to reward my students with a special summer incentive to get them ready for a fun-filled summer!

My students live so close to the beach so it would be awesome to surprise them with a sandcastle bucket, shovel, bubbles, sunglasses and a beach ball! Please help me surprise my students with a wonderful gift to start off their summer fun!
