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

1. How will the specific items you’re requesting make a difference in their learning?

Puppets make speaking Mandarin more engaging and less intimidating.

They encourage creativity, improve pronunciation, and help students practice fluency in a fun, low-pressure way.

2. What are your goals for this project?

To build students’ confidence in speaking Mandarin through interactive practice. The project will make learning enjoyable while reinforcing tone, sentence structure, and collaboration.

3. What makes your students special?

My students are creative, curious, and eager to learn. They embrace challenges and thrive in interactive activities, making puppets a perfect tool to support their language growth.
