Caring Gifts for Excelling in My Class

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 resource will allow me to give students a caring gift so they can have a plush to help them through a hard day, or they can give as a gift to someone who could use a nice gesture. I have been at the same school for 25 years because of the students I teach. I have different students every year. From different countries. When they come to our school, they are scared but have a desire to be their best. That is what I love about my students. I have learned so much from them throughout the years.
