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 will use my project to implement small groups with fidelity. I need a whiteboard to help my students in small groups; my students will also be able to begin working together all the time with a whiteboard in the classroom.

My motto for my classroom is "I will not use the word 'can't' to define my possibilities.

Black and brown children are always told what they cannot do, I will not have scholars talk down to themselves as well. Words do matter, and a scholar's self-expression, if positive, is the beginning of greatness.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
