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 eager, creative students who come to school excited to learn. They see school as a safe learning space where they can thrive. The majority of my students are English language learners who are also from economically disadvantaged backgrounds. Their parents typically work several jobs to provide them with everything they need.

Due to these challenges, I strive to have everything necessary to create a community feeling in my classroom and ensure they are successful in my TK classroom.

Receiving the Sharpies, Expo markers, canvas paintings, and student folders will enable us to stock up on all needed basic materials for the end of this year.
