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 teach just under 500 students. They range in age from 5-11. I teach students of all abilities. Every student in our school strives to reach their own personal and individual goals. Some of my students are in a high support classroom, and need materials that are specifically designated for their individual goals. These kiddos love to create fun food meals, and play with puppets. I would love to be able to read classic stories and recreate them with the matching puppets. In addition they would be best served by having their own play food toys. Thanks!
