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

Hello, thank you for stopping by and taking the time to look at my project. first, let me introduce myself; I am a Fifth-grade SEI teacher from Boston, MA. All of my students are English Language Learners and they are very excited about learning a new language. Despite their great enthusiasm for learning, most of them come from low-income families with few resources to provide extra food to bring to school. On occasions, they cannot focus during learning since their lunch is very late and during the third period in the morning they are very hungry.
