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 are enrolled at our school to become multilingual. My goal is to help them become bilingual lifelong learners. They find learning Spanish boring at this age (middle schoolers). We have good curriculum that is helping them, my goal is for them to want to be engaged and see their potential. My goal is to create a classroom full of engaging and motivating relevance to their futures. With an engaging classroom full of things that will help them come to our class everyday and be happy to be there will help them be great Spanish fluent learners to help serve a wider range.
