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

Each student has a distinct learning style, pace, and set of strengths, and it’s my joy to guide them on their educational journey. The wonderful thing about educational resources is that they cater to these individual differences. I added a "Little earth buddy 9 plush space toy" to my cart. Emotional well-being is closely linked to academic performance. Children who have a strong foundation on SEL are better equipped to focus on their studies. I also added "Count your chickens board game" to my cart to enhance hands-on activities in my classroom. This will capture students' interests, making learning more engaging and enjoyable.

My goals for this project is to ensure students have access to all resources needed to grow exponentially in a welcoming and enjoyable environment.

My students come from various backgrounds, cultures, and experiences enriching the classroom with diverse perspectives and creating a dynamic learning environment. 1st graders are known for their curiosity. They are constantly asking questions and seeking to understand new concepts.
