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

Hello! I am a special education teacher and my students are all very diverse and come from all different backgrounds. They are very passionate about their tasks and when asked to color or put something together, they tackle it with all their might.

I want to make sure they have access to supplies that their peers have and make sure they can engage in the activities in class with creativity.

I would also like to help the students by laminating and cutting papers. The super glue will help with fun and creative projects and the crayons can help keep students engaged with Doodle Notes (Notes they can color).
