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

There are many ways these items will help foster not only a positive environment for my students but it will also promote learning and engagement. A lot of the materials that are listed in my project are fundamental in fostering an effective learning environment, for example, the headphones can allow my students to immerse themselves fully in their work. I will be hoping to also have their library in order where my students are attempting to read their first decodable and grow in their way. By helping them grow at their own pace, I want to make sure I present an adequate learning environment where they feel safe and welcome to have their little area to read and connect with themselves. My students have so much potential to grow and succeed in their way and I want to do everything on my side to give them the education they deserve and the resources to support.
