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

All of the students have the most creative little minds. I have always been amazed on what they come to create on their own, whether they pull information from books or come to create a masterpiece all based off their own imagination. The children in my class deserve the absolute best to help them continue to sprout within my classroom walls and beyond.

I have been teaching for three years and have had the most amazing sets of kids anyone could ask for.

I am a huge reader so I tend to always incorporate books into our lessons and encourage them to incorporate lessons from books into their own lives. The books I have added will help them understand small/big feelings, learn letters, and help their creative minds grow.
