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 are culturally diverse. I have various different ethnic groups in my class, including many English Language Learners. I would love to give them books that peek their interest and provide them with manipulatives to use during center time. Since I am in a new classroom, I do not have many center pieces and manipulatives to provide the students a hand on approach to learning. Many of the supplies chosen are for ELA and Math centers. My goal with this project is to give my students the tools to enjoy learning and have fun.
