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

English Language Learners hold a special place in my heart. It is essential to their future academic excellence. Before these children can begin to learn the academic language they need to be successful, they must acquire the language.

Language acquisition requires students to have the opportunity to listen, speak, read, and write in English.

These headphones will allow students the opportunity to access various platforms in which the can watch and listen to videos that will help them in the development of their language acquisition.

The bins will allow for easy color coded access to supplies around the classroom, that students will need to easily access to get their materials.
