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 most about my students is their curiosity, resilience, and unique perspectives. They bring energy and creativity into the classroom every day, and it's inspiring to see how they support each other as they grow.

Each resource I’ve chosen is carefully selected to support my students’ diverse learning needs and styles.

These hands-on materials to bring abstract concepts that allows for personalized learning.

These tools will help make learning more interactive, inclusive, and meaningful. With these resources, my students will be able to explore new ideas, build confidence in their skills, and develop a deeper understanding of the world around them.

Ms. Vallejos Energized for STEM Academy Middle School Grades 6-8
