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

Please help my English learner students have materials and manipulatives for fun learning experiences! These materials and manipulatives will make a huge difference in my students' learning because it will provide them with fun learning games as well as real-life objects to make stronger connections to what is being taught.

You will impact my students' lives for years to come as these manipulatives can be used year after year!

When students have the chance to make those real-life connections then their learning becomes reinforced. What better way to teach than through games and having fun! My students will forever remember how these games made them feel in my classroom and how much they learned!
