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 teach English Language Learners (ELL) from different parts of the world, in a Special Education Title 1 school. The laminating pouches, posters, and other items I have requested will help me modify my lessons according to each child's ability.

What makes my students special is that I was once in their shoes as an English Language Learner.

I understand how lost and difficult it feels to learn a new language, from experience.

It gives me great pleasure to be able to provide students like me gain proficiency in English with modified lesson plans as books.
