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 make me smile everyday. I love how unique each one is. The food will help as incentives and for when they come into my class hungry. The shirts will help them wear clean clothes to school, and the toothbrushes will help them to be hygienic. The blankets are in case they get cold in class and the hand sanitizer is to help keep germs away. The smelly stickers and timers are to promote engagement and active learning. The snacks, clothes, and incentives help motivate my students to complete tasks daily.
