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 smart, young, and curious learners. They range from ages 3-5 and they all have diverse needs. I teach a collaborative classroom, 14 students who are typically developing and 10 students with special needs (Autism and Speech and Language Impairments).

The Aquaponic Planter and Aquarium will provide many unique learning opportunites for my students.

All my students will benefit because it will help promote language development, engagement, and social emotional skills. Their creative and curious little minds will ask questions, will support engagement, and learn sense of responsibility.
