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 truly excited about learning and reading. Music provides so many opportunities for growth. It helps students concentrate, and it also gets them excited and motivated!

The stereo and music will drive my students and give them an exciting learning environment!

They are also excited about graphic novels we were so lucky to receive. They have been begging for more. We can't wait to learn more and enjoy snuggling up to a good book. We are also looking to add to our games for indoor recess. Beyblades are a great way to get our kids using critical thinking skills.
