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 English learners have been working beautifully this year and incentives for their hard work would encourage and motivate them beyond the school year and into their summer studies. Their level of motivation for learning will be multiplied once I inform them that they will be receiving a special fun drawstring bag filled with summer gear...I can just see their faces beaming with excitement!

All these items, cool sunglasses, chalk, bubbles, and water bottles in drawstring bags will nourish their social emotional learning and immerse them with hands-on activities that direct them to play outdoors with friends while enjoying their childhood and practicing conversational English.
