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 to school every single day with a smile on their faces and a desire to learn. As a teacher I am always looking for new resources and ideas for my classroom. Having a teachers pay teachers gift card will give me the ability to buy more engaging materials for my classroom to help me students. There are many useful resources that my students would love and enjoy and truly help them better understand certain concepts being taught in the classroom. The dry erase boards will be very useful for students when working in small groups.
