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

Our awesome students love literacy and math activities. They like to be challenged with new and exciting activities. We need headphones to make that happen. Students love to read and listen to books. They love to do fun math activities on the computer. We need headphones to continue our learning in a fun way.

My students are at a variety of levels and interests.

We are able to taylor their learning with independent activities at their level.

We will be able to enhance our lessons with engaging activities and differentiate materials to suit students' needs. Learning shouldn't be limited. With these tools, we can learn and achieve anything. We will be able to achieve so much through this project!
