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

My students are so very special to me! They are resilient, intelligent, motivated and ready to absorb all that I have the pleasure of teaching them. They have disabilities but are able to learn so much once they are given the hands-on and visual materials they need to do so… just like the materials I’m asking for— a magnetic dry-erase board, math manipulative to physically add and subtract, and sound cards that show a picture of a word to build and change. Thank you so much for helping me teach in the best way I can—because my students deserve it!
