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

What I love most about my students is their drive to want to do better at something that is very difficult for them. Dyslexia is so different for every student but through different programs and teaching strategies our students feel empowered and can be successful. I teach in a title one school district so the majority of my students face many challenges and unfortunately education is not always a priority in the homes that they come from. However with the with encouragement and guidance I teach them that just how they can overcome their dyslexia they can overcome anything else that life throws their way.
