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

Thank you for taking the time to read this. I have worked Special Education for 8 years as an Instructional Aide, but this will be my first year of being a Teacher. I am very excited to have my own class and group of students. I have loved working with this student population. Now more than ever, I feel like I could really give it my all as I will have my own classroom to be able to do so.

The supplies I have listed are essential for my students to have an engaging learning environment.

With the resources I will be able to provide the support my students need. I love that all students have different skills and abilities and with these resources we can figure out students interests and coping skills. Thank you once again !

Ms. Gallegos David Starr Jordan High School Grades 9-12
