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

I teach 4th grade in a school where most of my students are below grade level and building their enthusiasm for learning is key to their success. My students know when the yellow paper is handed out, they are cutting and pasting ... something exciting! When they are handed a note home to their parents and it's on green paper, they smile and say, "I can't wait for my Mom to read it!"

As they year has gone on, I am in need for just the basic materials for my students to grow and learn.

Scissors, glue sticks, and colored paper...Oh My! These are just the simple things that would help make my students grow!
