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 Students

My students come from various backgrounds and are from low-income families. My students have various levels of proficiency in math. The majority of my students are multi-sensory learners. They learn best when they receive small group instruction.

My Project

My students are from diverse backgrounds. They love to learn and participate in the class. My students do not always bring the basic supplies at the beginning of the school year. I would love to have my classroom stocked at the beginning of the school year so my students can start off the school year strong.

My project makes sure we have enough Kleenex tissue and wipes to help keep our classroom clean.

It ensures that my students stay healthy by maintaining a clean classroom. Having the supplies will make the year go smoother.
