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 you enter our classroom, you will meet a variety of students who are creative, bright and ACTIVE! Our students have a variety of needs and interests. Our class is an integration of general education students, students with disabilities and students who are English Language Learners. That means we need lots of organization and ease of access to materials in our busy and productive classroom.

The students in our class are independent and proactive in their learning, and having a variety of organized materials available to them will support active engagement in our integrated co-teaching classroom.

All of our students are always eager to learn new things and love to use new tools and resources in their learning. This will enable them to be motivated and engaged in learning throughout the year!
