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

The purpose of this project, using the requested Spanish teaching materials, is to promote language learning while improving classroom organization to foster an orderly, functional, and stimulating learning environment.

My goal for this project is to create an engaging and supportive environment where students can build a strong foundation in the Spanish language.

I want to provide them with resources that make learning Spanish interactive, accessible, and culturally rich—helping them not only develop language skills, but also an appreciation for the diverse cultures where Spanish is spoken.

Through resources such as posters, labels, visual routines, workstations, and interactive materials, the goal is to facilitate Spanish language teaching, increase student participation, and optimize the use of classroom space.

Furthermore, cleaning products are equally essential, as they ensure hygiene and help prevent the spread of disease, something especially important in shared spaces like the classroom.
