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

This project aims to allow student's in my ELL Special Education Self-Contained class to achieve success beyond what others see. My students all come from low income homes where we need support in every aspect. We need help to replenish supplies to keep learning through manipulatives and creative learning. My students learn in a variety of different ways and by having those materials they will be able to achieve success. Math flashcards and dry erase boards will assist the students in learning by using visuals. The classroom is also in need of materials being replenished while the cardstock and laminating pouches will allow for materials to be created and be individualized for each student.
