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

The students in our class are absolutely amazing. They are kind and friendly. As we walk through our campus, they are waving and saying hi to everyone we pass. They are welcoming and are always excited to get visitors in the class. They are creative and ready to use their imagination to solve all kinds of problems.

My Project

Most students learn by doing, but providing students with the materials they need can be pricey. These materials will help create a learning environment where students are active participators. Many of these materials can be used across disciplines and will make learning feel like play. These materials will help our English learners develop the foundations needed for literacy. they will have the materials to learn the alphabet and the sounds the letters make. They will also have what they need to begin their writing journey by creating their own stories to share with the class.
