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

I work with a large culturally and linguistically diverse group of amazing learners, which includes K-3rd grade levels. Our classroom environment is warm, welcoming, and student-friendly. My students are an extraordinary group of individuals with various abilities. Our classroom is full of students who are ready to learn and persist.

My students have been busy reading about animals and would enjoy reading more books about other types of animals.

They enjoy learning about the animal's habitat, diet, life cycle, and all these interesting facts about them. We would like to add more titles to our classroom library.
