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

It is imperative to have a variety of resources to adapt content to the varying needs of our students. These items are able to bring curriculum off the paper and into the physical world, creating experiences that students are able to make lasting connections to. Another challenge we overcome by having a variety of resources is novelty. This is a fantastic way to get student buy in.

Being able to switch out activities weekly and having them match our curricular themes leads to higher student engagement.

As a second year teacher, I am still gathering resources over time and also share with the rest of my grade-level.
