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 very special to me. Most are children of immigrant parents and some have difficult lives. That's why I always try to educate them in the best way. I hope to inspire you to try harder. I know they have to work harder than others because they are disadvantaged in education, language and different culture. I need the sheets to prepare material for them. I want them to have their school supplies organized. And I am going to use the motivational stickers material to reinforce class work. Pencils and colors are always necessary as they are used daily in math class. Many times they do not bring material to work with. That's why notebooks, folders, textbooks, and everything else have to stay in the classroom. I will use the baskets to organize daily work. I thank you very much for your help and blessing for my students.
