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 project will allow my students to have some hands-on materials such as manipulatives and games, to help with learning and to make learning fun. I have students with special needs and they enjoy having items that are fun, to help get through an assignment. The supplies will help with making hands-on work stations and the wipes will help keep our classroom clean and germ free. I like to keep my students engaged and they enjoy having items they can use and play with during the school day. The glue sticks will be used every day for a variety of subjects such as math, science, art and ELA. The electric pencil sharpener is a must-have for my little artists to continue to work with pencils and colored pencils.

Each of my students learn differently and they like to help other students within the class setting.
