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

These items will be aids in learning, ensuring that my students have the materials needed to engage in learning and research-based practices that are proven to support all learners and their unique needs, including multilingual learners and learners with alternative learning needs.

My goal in requesting these materials is to remove barriers and pressure on families and students so that my students can engage fully in their learning without fear or worry about being prepared.

As part of this goal, I also want to provide my students with a wealth of materials to explore and showcase their learning in ways that fit their needs. By providing books and shelves to highlight high-interest and engaging texts, my goal is to engage students.
