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 name is Ms. Cruz, I am a bilingual teacher who supports English Language Learners. I support 4 classrooms in 4th and 5th grade, with around 60 students. I provide whole class, small group, and individual support. In addition to all that, my kids use a learning platform tailored for ELL's.

For the learning platform, the students are required to use headphones with microphones to do speaking and listening activities and tasks.

For small group time, I meet with approximately 20 students and they all need notebooks to do writing activities.

I want my ELL students to have access to the materials they need to RISE to their potential. I will be so thankful and appreciate you if you help my students.
