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

Excited to begin the new school year with upcoming third graders! With your help we can improve young minds by giving them the most helpful resources. Expanding class materials to help keep them engaged and encouraging them to be successful in their everyday learning. Students come in from every walk of life imaginable.Walking into our classrooms, you will see a diverse group of students who share the same strong desire for learning and success.

These resources will help them with being able to provide multiple vision examples around the class, as well as the headphones will provide students with vital listening tools when working with their computers.

Everyone a fan of snack time or being rewarded with a yummy snack, that's why I have also included some snacks to motivate and reward their hard work. At our school ,we work hard to accomplish our dreams and goals, and most importantly , become successful.
