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 about my students is how eager they are to learn and gain new information. "Little Sponges" as we say... I have a great bond with this class and it'll be hard to say farewell and that's how I came up with this project.

We all have memories of certain elementary teachers, and I want my students to remember me & 3rd grade through our love of reading.

Through the book 3rd Grade Angels and the Summer Bridge activity book, I want to create a lasting memory as well as help them retain & practice their 3rd grade skills to be prepared for 4th grade.
