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

The students will be working on project based learning. The books will give the. Areas to get info from and the supplies will allow the. To be creative. If they can have the tools that they need to show what they learned and books to read and get involved in their learning it should be easier to get them to be engaged in their learning. My goal is to create life long learners through project based learning opportunities with my students. My classroom library could use some books as we don’t currently have any. Please help!
