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. We are trying to incorporate art into our daily lessons. They like to be challenged with new and exciting activities. We need a variety of colored paper and ink to make that happen. We want to create an inviting environment for them so they can have fun while they are learning.

My students are at a variety of levels and interests.

We will be able to enhance our lessons with engaging activities. We will also be able to differentiate materials to suit their needs. There shouldn't be any limits put on learning. With these tools, we can learn and achieve anything. We will be able to accomplish so much through this project!
