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

My students will use this new equipment to foster their lesson planning and create more productive lessons. They will have more of a variety of options to offer the Elementary kids to build skill development and structure. The equipment gets used by so many kids throughout the year and it’s so expensive to buy more. The opportunities are endless for my students success Creatively in their lessons helps keep there students engaged and involved in the lesson. Having lots of diffrent choices of equipment will deeply enhance this process
