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

Their hard work has paid off, and now it's time to play hard with a celebration! Help me provide positive reinforcement by providing snacks to recognize their achievements. The Multilingual Learners from 6-8 grade have worked diligently at meeting their goals in ELA, and now it's time to celebrate!

These multilingual learners have the responsibility of carrying a double cognitive load, which means they work extra hard in their home language first and transfer that knowledge to their new language, and now it's time to cherish the moment and celebrate their success!
