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 deeply passionate about my First Grade Dual students' enthusiasm and creativity, which constantly inspire me. Each requested resource plays a crucial role in enhancing their learning experience. The flexible seating options will enable them to choose comfortable positions, fostering focus and active participation. My goal for this project is to create an engaging and inclusive learning environment that nurtures their critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, preparing them for real-world challenges. What makes my students truly special is their eagerness to explore, experiment, and collaborate. Their unique perspectives and unwavering determination to make a difference in our community make them a truly exceptional group.
