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

Hello,

I want to tell you a little bit about my wonderful students and why they deserve the best!

My students are very smart, culturally aware students from a low-income community in Chicago. My students are super excited that in Spanish class we will be celebrating Cinco de Mayo soon. To better plan, I want to provide them with colored copies with the new printer and fun games to help them improve their knowledge on this wonderful culture day. Most of my students and/or their parents come from Mexico. This would be a great opportunity to continue learning in a fun, interactive way!
