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

The past few years in education have been tough! Nonetheless, students continue to persevere, thrive, and keep on learning in spite of the challenges created by the world-wide pandemic.

As a returning to the classroom teacher, I want to ensure my students have a learning environment that is welcoming and accepting.

By incorporating the materials from this project, students will be part of a classroom that is organized, designed for active and comfortable learning, and encouraging of creativity and exploration.

My students come from diverse backgrounds, with many challenges but tons of potential and willingness to learn! They are hard workers, passionate learners, and deserving of so much to help their path towards a successful future.
