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

As a fourth-year teacher at a Chicago Charter School, I make sure to give my students my best every single day! I have 29 AMAZING scholars this year and with this project, I want to enhance my small groups so each scholar receives the support they need! The dry-erase markers and erasers will help students show their work while the headphones will help students stay focused on their independent work time and not get distracted. The clock will support my visual learners while the ELA workbook enriches my early finishers! My scholars deserve the world so any support will mean a lot.
