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

I absolutely love being an ENL teacher. Seeing my students light up when learning a new word is beyond rewarding. But at times it is difficult to know where to begin to teach a new language. With new flexible seating wobble chairs and English Language Learning Games, my students will be more prepared to tackle the language learning journey in a small group setting.

There are so many tools I have spent time and money creating for the amazing eager minds in my classroom but I need your help with providing them with materials to help them thrive further.

My ELLs need a space with flexible seating to prepare to learn a new language and tackle content simultaneously. With the language games, you can help provide my classroom, you can make very challenging tasks turn into a smoother and more fun learning journey for my kiddos!
