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 Students

Did you ever find it difficult to achieve something when the resources weren't there?

My students are working really hard to master their second language, English.

They come to school everyday and work above and beyond to show what they know. I want to provide them more opportunities to be fluent English speakers and writers. I remember learning English as my second language, and the only resource I had was a dictionary. I'm sure my teachers back then would've loved the opportunity for more resources and materials to help me learn English. Having this opportunity will help my students succeed.

My Project

Word games, fluency passages, comprehension passages, vocabulary flash cards, and many more things will be possible for my students to use during the day to enhance their learning. They will expand their vocabulary and build fluency on a daily basis. My students will enjoy these resources to the fullest.

Providing my students with the support they need to learn a second language will expand their horizons.

These students deserve any opportunity available and I am sure you can all make this happen! :)
