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

I work in a Title I school, serving underprivileged students, mostly of an ELL background. I love to reward students for reaching their goals. This year we are focused on reading fluency, comprehension and math facts. When students make their end of the year goal I am planning to do a movie.

I want to get nachos and gatorade to be able to enjoy during our movie.

This project will help motivate students and get them with eyes on the prize. I cannot wait to hold these celebration with some yummy nachos for my students to enjoy during our movie. Thank you in advance for your contributions!
