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 name is Veronica Serrano, I am a 4th grade bilingual teacher. I serve students with special needs, newcomers to the country, and bilingual students. We need materials to create engaging activities that will target language development as well as mastering the content. These materials will help my students with language development(listening, speaking, reading, and writing)and comprehension.

My students are hardworking and dedicated kids, but most of all they are determined to succeed by working hard and not giving up.

Therefore, I would like to provide them with the tools they need to succeed and break the barriers they are now facing in their education.

Students will benefit from engaging in activity stations that will allow them to engage in meaningful conversations with their peers. They will be able to acquire language and content in a less stressful environment. All students will benefit from visuals, conversations, and fun activities.

I would appreciate your support with any of the items listed for our classroom project "Breaking Barriers". My students will accomplish their academic goals.
