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 inquisitive deaf and hard of hearing kids that I get to work with everyday thrive on hands-on learning experiences. We are currently working on a unit about the world, countries, states, capitals, and their home city. I am looking to expand their learning opportunities within the classroom through these specifically chosen materials.

Through these tactile learning materials, students will gain a better understanding of the world beyond themselves.

They will be able to examine a world globe that provides facts as well as opportunities to see the nighttime constellations. They will be able to play games that are fun, but are teaching them at the same time. Please help our classroom have more opportunities to jump into hands-on learning!
