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

This project aims to provide various resources and materials to support our English Language Learners (ELL) in their language journey, enhancing their overall educational experience. By securing workbooks, dictionaries, games, and other resources, we can make a meaningful difference in their learning outcomes and foster an inclusive and supportive learning environment. The resources we are requesting, such as bilingual books, language learning software, multimedia, and culturally relevant materials, will greatly aid ELL students in acquiring language skills, comprehension, and literacy development.

Our primary goal for this project is to empower our ELL students with the necessary tools and resources to succeed academically and thrive as confident, proficient English language speakers.

Our students are diverse and vibrant learners who bring beautiful cultural backgrounds, languages, and experiences to our classroom. What makes them truly special is their resilience, determination, and eagerness to learn despite facing various linguistic and cultural challenges.
