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

Giving my students different learning options is so important to me as I am cultivating learners for life! I think it's important to give students a choice in their learning. That is why I chose to include magazines and workbooks for my students to enjoy.

Additionally on my list are headphones.

Music is a very important aspect in my students lives, and I want to include music into their learning by having comfortable and working headphones! It brings a lot of joy seeing students engaging and enjoying what they're working on!

Ms. Rodriguez O'Keeffe School of Excellence Grades PreK-2
