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 requested items (books, games, posters, manipultives in Spanish) will help me design an exciting and innovative small group center for my bilingual learners. They will be listening to each other, speaking in complete sentences as they use the resources, as well as reading and writing. It will be the kind of the center that they'll look forward to coming to, challenging themselves and growing in our dual language classroom. Our motto is "Si Se Puede!" and both school administration and families will continue to be pleased and amazed with the progress my students make.
