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 love my student's uniqueness and charming personalities. I am a moderate-severe teacher and throughout my years of teaching, I have had the opportunity to see many of my students surpass various obstacles and achieve greatness in their education. My students' desire to learn and engage in classroom activities and hands-on materials will allow my students to actively use their hands to kinesthetically learn the material.

When students experience fun learning in the classroom, they engage more in activities with their peers and feed their desire to continue learning.

The materials requested will allow my students to put into practice all of the material that we learn throughout the school year.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
