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 Students

Our student champions are ready for success. In our school, he has three different programs: Dual Language, Creative Arts, and Special Education. Through these programs, they have the opportunity to develop their language, creativity and social skills while learning the content.

Our students are full of energy, and they are excited to be back in the building to keep learning together.

Virtual learning is being a challenge for many of my students because many of them are economically disadvantaged.

My Project

If you ask my students what part of the school day is their favorite, most of them will probably say recess. During the time kids spend in the playground, they learn diverse skills and test their limits by trying out the various equipment.

The materials used in playgrounds help children of any age level to develop motor skills, develop their agility, speed, strength, balance and coordination and also allows them to learn positive social interactions which is extremity important.

These materials will help my students to safely engage and enjoy their favorite part of the day!
