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 together from all different backgrounds and home situations. School is a place to connect and interact with peers and they look forwards to it! Most of these students have been together since Kindergarten or Preschool and have built relationships that will be hard to say goodbye to at the end of Elementary school.

5th grade is a year of growth and change and they approach it with kindness and understanding that not everyone's situation is alike.

They are passionate, hard working and competitive and will do anything to get outside!
