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

One of my goals for next year is to create a space for my students to be strong learns. As well as create a welcoming environment for my freshman as they enter High School. The welcoming environment will be by a new mural on one of my chalk boards as well as getting an ample amount of supply's for students to be successful within our school environment. By giving students an ample amount of school supplies I can always ensure they have what they need to take notes and succeed in my class.
