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 Students

My students are very energetic and enjoy hands-on learning. With this virus we know that hands on learning is going to be put on hold for awhile. I want to make sure that my students get the best education in the safest way possible. Students across the world will be going to a “new” school when we are fully back and the change is going to be hard for everyone. I want to make sure the change is organized, safe, and maybe even a little fun for my students.

My Project

These materials will make a difference in my students' learning by giving them a warm setting that will allow them to focus and feel safe as they return back to school. I feel like when you enter into a warm, well-designed classroom it helps any type of learner feel as though they can be successful and this is how I want my students to feel on the first day of returning to school after the past year of not being in school. I hope that I can be successful in doing this.
