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

Leveled books will cater to varying English proficiency levels, enhancing comprehension and building confidence. Phonics materials will support the development of foundational reading skills, essential for language acquisition. Basic essentials will create a supportive learning environment, ensuring that resources are accessible and effective for all students.

Our goals are to improve English language learners’ literacy skills, provide tailored resources to meet their needs, and foster an engaging, supportive classroom where students can thrive and build strong language foundations.

Our students are special for their diverse cultural backgrounds, unique life experiences, and their determination to overcome language barriers. Their eagerness to learn and adapt enriches the classroom environment and drives their academic progress.
