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 students come from different backgrounds and learning styles, however having the necessary tools to reach each one of them in their very unique way of learning is important to succeed. Having headphones available to each child will help with differentiated tasks throughout the daily lessons. They will be able to access audio books, videos in their home language as well as interactive games to engage in fun learning. I want to make learning fun and accessible to every child no matter their native language and their learning style.

Unfortunately, my school does not have the funding necessary to provide easy access to supplies such as notebooks, pencils, and headphones for all students.

For these reasons, I would like you to help me provide these supplies to our scholars so they can enjoy learning. Thank you!
