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

This upcoming school year will be my first time teaching in a bilingual classroom, and I’m excited to create a space where students feel supported in both English and Spanish.

The items I’ve requested are, Spanish language books, bilingual posters, timers, headphones, and other student friendly supplies.

These will help create an inclusive and engaging environment.

One key item is a reliable printer, which will allow me to prepare lesson materials, classroom visuals, and student resources quickly and effectively. These materials will help me better meet the diverse needs of my students and ensure every learner can succeed.

Gracias for your Support !
