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 products I have selected will support my students by providing additional, more effective learning options tailored to their needs. I have seen firsthand how offering choice can positively impact both their work and their overall attitude. With these new resources, I hope to foster even greater growth, engagement, and success in our classroom.

Los productos que he seleccionado ayudarán a mis estudiantes al ofrecerles más opciones de aprendizaje, y de manera más efectiva.

He visto de primera mano cómo la posibilidad de elegir influye positivamente en su trabajo y actitud. Espero que estas nuevas opciones nos permitan crecer aún más como grupo y mejorar la experiencia educativa en el aula.
