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 students are amazing and eager learners! The majority of my students are from low-income families, many speaking languages other than English and some living in difficult situations. Despite these obstacles, they come to school every day with smiles on their faces, ready to learn.

Most of our students don't get around their community often, so being able to help them learn about the places and people that help our community everyday is important.

Where can they go when they need help? Who can help when they are sick? What jobs can they do when they get older to help others? Learning through play is important for our younger learners!
