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

My goal for this project is to provide my students with the tools they need to achieve academically and socially. Providing students with social emotional tools will enhance academic achievement because students will be able to communicate effectively and manage their emotions. Additionally, the manipulatives will provide my students with hands on learning experience, as well as visual aids. My students represent diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, and support in the education realm is greatly valued. Having these materials will create a more productive, engaging, and inclusive learning environment. Any support is appreciated!
