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

These are materials that will help our classroom in the long run. The headphones are an essential part of our classroom in order to be able to have access to rich literature. It will build the fluency skills the students need to enjoy books. Of course, we also need a home for our books to be accessible to our students.

Our school is a Title I school, which means that they are doing their best to close the gap between low-income students and other students and I would love to be a part of that.

Since we are grateful to have access to Chromebooks, having proper headphone gear is an essential part of getting independent work done in the classroom. Being able to listen and read books as well as working on math skills.

All of the materials I have chosen will be highly appreciated!
