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

Next year, our 8th graders will embark on a powerful journey with the compelling narrative of "We Beat the Street." This remarkable book doesn't just tell a story; it ignites a belief in possibility for students who may have faced significant challenges, demonstrating that they, too, can not only succeed but surpass expectations. To further empower our learners, we're forging an exciting partnership with the co-math teacher. Together, we'll provide targeted support for students with developing math skills, utilizing hands-on tools like counters to bring abstract concepts to life. Imagine the confidence these visual aids will build!

Finally, let's be honest, a classroom always needs extra pencils!
