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

Reading; A skill that is of the utmost importance for our students! In our current world it is especially important that we help our next generation of bright futures. Therefore, I take it as my responsibility to create an environment that they can call a second home. Here in the Reading Skills Center my students enjoy the feeling of success, of progress, and of challenging themselves each day.

In giving my students clear and productive feedback I seek to secure their success now, and for their future as learners.

The products I have selected will be used to provide positive and upbuilding affirmations. These will be set up and used by students to keep an organized class area.
