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

As for what makes my students special, is how they all learn differently by engaging and-participating in multi sensory learning, and some of them learn individually working with manipulative during math and reading small groups. The goal is to create an inclusive and supportive learning small group environment that recognizes and accommodates the unique qualities of each of my students, fostering their academic and personal growth. The proposed items aim to address these specific needs and contribute to a more enriching educational experience for the students in my self-contained classroom.
