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

I got into teaching for this specific group of children. The resources that this project will provide will help them to know that they are loved and that people care about them. The students in my class will be the ones who usually get passed by because of their low socioeconomic status and the belief that they can't succeed.

This resonates with me because I was one of these kids and I want to do everything I can to help them succeed.

The SEL activities and other items I chose I believe will help them with academic success and emotional success I will be doing lots of small groups and one-on-ones and the variety of the items will help meet thank you for considering funding my project you are helping the Next Generation and all the levels that are needed.
