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 Students

My students are from Chicago and are part of the blended pre-school program. This program gives my students an opportunity to interact with many diverse learners. My kind preschoolers come to class everyday to learn, discover, and explore.

They gleefully draw pictures, create structures, read books, dance, and sing throughout the remote learning day.

My students love identifying letters and their sounds, colors, shapes, and feelings (SEL). Since remote learning, my students have been trying their best to connect and stay active.

My Project

I'm so excited to see that Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards are an option now! Having a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will give me access to thousands of resources that I could use in my classroom.

Teachers Pay Teachers is a great tool to find different ways to teach students, written and developed by teachers for teachers.

I have used Teachers Pay Teachers as a learning go-to source and find it a valuable tool to be able to reach all the learning styles of students. I'm so excited to see that Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards are an option now! Having a Teachers Pay Teachers gift card will give me access to thousands of resources that I could use with my students. There are so many resources that I know would be useful for my students during the 2020-2021 school year, and this gift card could put them right into my fingertips.

Teachers Pay Teachers cannot only benefit my students, but also helps teachers around the globe. It's a win/win situation! Teachers helping students and teachers helping teachers!
