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

The materials that I have chosen for this project will help my students become engaged in hands-on learning. I work in a Title 1 school where almost all of our population is on free and reduced lunch. Literacy and math skills are so important for these students. As their first grade teacher, it is imperative that I do everything I can to set a solid foundation for their education and I feel strongly that using hands-on materials is the best way to keep kids focused, engaged, and to help them achieve their goals.
