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

This project will bring new life to an old classroom. It will bring stories to life by keeping things in their place and allowing the students freedom to choose what interests them.

My project will help foster engaging lessons by offering books that help support diversity.

While doing this we will have displays throughout the classroom to display diverse books for all to choose.

Keeping a room clean and tidy also helps students who need this type of environment.

I love different interests of all my learners. I want to make sure that they know they are valued and respected.

Ms. Herrle Hollinger K-8 School Grades 3-5
