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 are amazing and even with all the challenges that they have, or that come their way, they’re very capable but in order to further help them in their education and academic journey, I need to make lots of visuals and accommodations to their work, which requires a lot of ink and printing, which I need some support in because I use an ink cartridge every week and a half or two weeks. My students love taking breaks. It helps them relax and they love building. They love magnets they like puzzles and we have many puzzles in our classroom. We need an area to store them and magnet tiles are amazing and we actually don’t have any right now, but my students have been wanting some. The organization are because I do not have enough support staff so it’s easily accessible for their break and materials..
