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 goal for my students is that they have a safe, comfortable environment where they can come to school without distraction to get the best possible learning experience.

With years of at home learning, stunts in social growth and so much more, I hope to get students back on the right track for their future.

Cell phone storage is to minimize distraction and aid in the learning process, snacks are to fuel their minds to take in all the knowledge they can, and rulers, highlighters, colored paper and organizing materials are to aid in the learning process and help bridge the gaps that these students currently have. I'm hoping to aid these students in being the best versions of themselves inside the classroom and out.
