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

Please help my exceptional K-5 special education students meet their goals this year. Much of the work we do in our class is repetitive and requires students to use many worksheets for math, reading, writing, and English language development. I plan to switch from making many copies to using laminated sheets, sharing art material, reusing dry erase table sheets, and storing school materials in reusable pouches. I need to model responsible behavior by creating an Earth-friendly classroom by reusing and reducing. I plan to have my students for many years. I appreciate your consideration.
