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

This project is to celebrate the culture and heritage of myself and my students. To celebrate their background and share their background and language with other students and teachers in the class by using decorations and English/ Spanish words through visual pictures. To use flash cards and ESL resources to learn English and Spanish words with picture correlation for English language learners as well as monolingual students. The giant timer will help keep us on track when celebrating Hispanic Heritage month. Hispanic Heritage Month is a time for myself and my students to be proud of our heritage and show to our class how much pride we have.
