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 am a speech language pathologist who works with students from low-income immigrant families, often from single-parent households with limited access to educational resources at home.

My students deserve the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning to be able to immerse themselves in their learning environment.

Using the hands-on activities in the Building Language Discovery Boxes can get my students to improve their attention and participation. They will also help them in learning to acquire new language skills and retain information by thinking about concepts they have learned. The Magnetic Shape Sorting Rods will encourage my students to work together and foster teamwork skills.

By using multiple styles of learning, my students can activate language connections in their brains in order to store more information.
