Celebrating 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 love how curious, creative, and full of energy my first grade students are. They come to school each day excited to learn, share, and grow. Each of them learns in their own unique way, and these resources will help meet their different needs. Headphones will support students who need quiet spaces to focus. A projector will help bring lessons and stories to life for visual learners. A portable speaker will make sure every voice is heard during songs, videos, and class discussions. And a karaoke machine will build confidence and language skills while making learning fun! These tools will help my students shine and feel proud of what they can do.
