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 Students

I absolutely love how diverse my class is. I have students who are from different cultural backgrounds, speak different languages/Spanish dialects, and have their unique personalities. The majority of my students are English language learners. I also have students with special needs. I absolutely love how I have created a classroom culture of love, respect, and acceptance. My students love coming to school and spending time with one another.

My Project

The materials you will be helping me buy for my classroom will help my students learn how to read and write in English without feeling like they are learning. They are fun, interactive games, puzzles, and play based learning materials that my kiddos will enjoy and be looking forward to playing with.

Additionally, I have added a dollhouse and Dinosaurs for my boys who have been asking when we would be getting new toys to play with during play based learning.

Play-based learning helps engage elementary students in their education and has cognitive, physical, social, and emotional benefits. With your help, this will be made possible. My students, parents, and myself thank you in advance for your help. Thank you and God Bless.
