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

All of my students are eager to learn, however they all learn differently. Some may enjoy music, while others may find themselves feeling emotional while listening to tunes. The majority of my my students respond best to tactile learning, to some that may just be a bit overstimulating and would just prefer to just learn visually.

All of my students exhibit their strengths through creativity and determination.

However, they are still trying to figure out ways to appropriately exhibit emotional sensitivity. These materials will support my students throughout their school day to manage their emotions and cope with the daily activities and routines of our day.
