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

This is my first year teaching 3rd grade! We are having a fantastic year and my students are learning so much.

Many of my students are below grade level, and these resources would help to ensure that I am able to close their academic gap and get them as ready as possible for 4th grade!

We do a lot of interactive learning with sticky notes, anchor charts, and laminated vocabulary cards. My students have also taken control of their learning by stapling their current learning goals to their journals to reflect on daily. This project would be incredibly helpful for my students success!
