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

I have 15 students are English Language Learners and 6 receive resource services. Though there may be many set backs each student is passionate, integrative and kind.

Teaching at an urban school in Los Angeles, I discovered my students are in need of basic supplies that are used daily in a classroom.

Providing them with these supplies open many opportunities for activities and learning that could occur in our classroom. For example, using post it notes to annotate books will help my students dive into novels, determine figurative meanings, mark interesting perspectives, and many more things. My students will use scissors to complete hands on integrative activities combining multiple subjects. These are just a few examples in addition to many more needed supplies such as pencils and erasers.
