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 students refrain from falling into the COVID Gap and falling further behind. The folders will allow us to make centers and activities that my students could use to continue practicing the skills they have learned all year long. I want to make interactive centers with the velcro and dry eraser markers. The lamination will help make the centers durable and last for years. My students learn best when their minds and hands are engaged in the learning process.

My students are eager to learn and willing to do the extra work to become the best students possible.

Please help by giving them the right supplies to retain what they are learning, regain their confidence, and refrain from the COVID gap.
