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

Next year, I have the opportunity to teach 6th, 7th, and 8th grade! It's a lot of work creating unique lessons for each grade level, but it will be worth it. My students get excited when they have opportunities to be creative. So many of my students are artistic. To ask them to complete traditional assignments, they turn in basic work; however, when given the opportunity to draw and get creative, their work is absolutely amazing. By providing the personal poster sets and basic class supplies, my students will be set to start the year off on the right foot!
