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

I'm covering an ESL class for 8th grade in a classroom that is just that...an empty classroom! It would be great to be able to acquire a few items to provide to our newcomers so they have resources to read, posters to see and learn from, and flashcards to practice with in the classroom! This is an excellent opportunity for our students to acquire additional English before they graduate and head to high school, and it would be a wonderful gift from us to send them off with...being prepared! Such an exciting class!
