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 Students

My students are highly motivated and eager to learn new things. Our school is a Title I school where most of our kids come from low-income families. We appreciate every resource and material we are able to receive to benefit our learning.

My Project

Having a welcoming and clear environment will help our students work better, understand the content, and see the charts and materials. Our students enjoy coming to school to work hard, it makes it that much better when we can help them enjoy learning and give them the materials they need.

When we use charts, colorful markers, and wall pouches, it will help our students see the content better and understand the work.

When we help our students learn and give them the materials they need, they succeed and skyrocket. Help us, help our students!
