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

We are a creative classroom family of 33 amazing scholars who learn in a variety of ways.

My students are have a growth mindset and enjoy challenges; they are the best students in the world.

With our growth mindset, we can do anything! We value educational experiences, projects, and activities and appreciate every new supply and tool. My students enjoy projects and have a thirst for knowledge. My students rock, and seeing their academic goals and dreams come to life is wonderful. They inspire me every day.

My Project

Students feel more comfortable and confident when they have tools to succeed, and our students have been putting consumable materials to good use.

These essentials will be used in a variety of lessons using educational technology, support tools, hands-on small groups, guided reading activities, and fun projects.

Our amazing scholars are learning to program, code, and create digital content as well. Providing students with their own earbuds will allow them to have additional access to specialized interactive content including review activities and digital lessons at school and at home. Students will enjoy these classroom essentials and utilize the materials all year long.
