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

The items I have added are essentials to the growth of each student . I’m so excited for this upcoming class and my goal is enhance and push them to their best abilities.

I am getting a new set of second graders that are at grade level and we are starting a new curriculum so I am expanding and requesting different materials to make this transition the best possible .

Sensory is also a big thing for me because kids get over stimulated and I want to make sure that I resources to help with that !

I love the fact that I have this challenge because it will push me to be a better teacher for my students and the fact that I have found different resources and want to implement them shows me and them that I have their back !
