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

These books will help teach students about Social Emotional Learning and nurture their language development in English and Spanish.

Our students work hard to develop both English and Spanish at school and at home.

They are learning to name and manage their emotions in both languages. Our dual language program is an asset to our community. We want students to master both languages by becoming bilingual. These resources will be a great resource to our families as they aim to keep their native tongue as well as by becoming fluent in English.
