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 a creative and fun group of English language learners. They are enthusiastic about showing the world all that they have to offer! We attend an urban middle school that is full of mixed ethnicities and academic capabilities.

Helping my students thrive in the 21st century is the goal of this project!

I would like to provide my 6th graders with the tools (kick bands & calming strips) to help release stress in order to help them be ready to learn. I'd also like to mount our classroom projector to provide more space in the classroom for cooperative grouping and flexible seating. Please help us reach our goals!
