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

I love my students because they show up every day with determination, curiosity, and a genuine desire to learn, even when English still may be challenging to them. They inspire me to find new ways to support their voices and celebrate their progress.

Translator pens will help them access texts more independently, building vocabulary and confidence.

Microphones and voice amplifiers will ensure that every student—especially the quiet ones—can be heard and feel valued in class discussions. Dry erase boards and clipboards will give them the freedom to move, share ideas, and work collaboratively, making learning more dynamic. Technology-based games and escape room activities will turn review sessions into exciting, hands-on experiences that deepen comprehension. Each of these resources is chosen with my students’ needs in mind—to help them grow in their academic English, express themselves, and feel proud of what they can do.
