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

The use of posters around the classroom allows students to access material quickly and makes it easier to reference in class. The use of materials to create hands-on projects is important because it provides a different avenue to engage students. I also believe that it is important to provide reading material to my students.

I want to ensure that every student feels seen and appreciated by providing them with visual resources, reading material and project supplies that best fit their needs.

My students have bright, young minds that are capable of changing the world with the right support. We would be tremendously appreciative of any support!
