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

These Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards will make a huge difference in my students' learning. I will be able to purchase math lessons that offer an alternative way to teach standards that my students are currently learning.

For my low and advanced learners, I will be able to differentiate my lessons.

In reading, I follow my district's reading program, but I would like to offer my students more opportunities to learn phonics that are a different grade level, fun and engaging reading passages that will help my students better comprehend what they read, and reading games where students could play collaboratively.

One of my goals would be for my students to continue learning. Teachers Pay Teachers offers many great, fun, and engaging lessons for all grade levels. Another goal would be for me to have additional lessons that I could do in small groups when I target certain students with similar needs.

My students are special because they are curious about the way the world works. They have many questions, but want to learn everything they can. My students are positive and willing to work hard to meet their goals.
