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

My students are resilient. Despite all odds, my students continue to navigate this unprecedented year with optimism, determination, and grace.

The pandemic continues to be devastating for students and their families.

Academically, students are attempting to catch up on all the schooling that was missed. On a personal note, many students have suffered the loss of a family member, home, and financial security.

In the classroom, these materials will assist students in navigating the school year. Folders, erasers, and other basic supplies will prepare students for the learning to come.
