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 materials and resources on my list will help me create a warm and welcoming environment for my students. These materials will provide great read aloud books that show diversity so that all my students feel seen and welcome in my classroom. I also have some basic supplies that will help me be able to supply my classroom and students who may need it. The manipulatives, flash cards, and games on my list will allow for me to engage students and make learning fun for them. I will use some of these resources as a whole class and some will be used for small group interventions to help students.
