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

Mr. Roger's once said, "All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we're giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world. That's one of the things that connects us as neighbors--in our own way, each one of us is a giver and a receiver."

My students (both newcomer and special needs) are highly motivated to learn and be successful after high school.

Each day is an opportunity to prepare for life after high school. I am getting them ready for the next steps in their journey. These stackable cabinets and rolling cart will guide students and teach them how to care for their English language supplies. With an organized classroom, we can accomplish anything. The fidgets are an added sensory tool students can use as we read through our chapter books. Thank you for supporting my students. I am grateful.
