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

These items will help to get my new resource room set up for success for the students receiving services. I began this position late in the preceding school year so I was not able to order anything and I needed to get up and running quickly. Now I want to start the new year with a fully supplied and prepared resource room.

My goal is to acquire supplies to maximize student learning and motivation.

Each of my student's has their own special strengths and experiences that they bring to their learning.
