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

My students are intellectually curious, compassionate, and eager to explore the world around them. They approach learning with a sophisticated mindset, consistently challenging themselves and me. Their passion for writing transforms them into authors, especially when they connect classroom concepts to real-world issues."

A science exploration table will enhance hands-on, inquiry-based learning every day.

Witnessing my students' eyes light up as they encounter new concepts or challenges is incredibly rewarding. A STEM lab with a variety of kits can bring together students from various linguistic and cultural backgrounds.

Exploration fosters diversity and enriches the learning experience by exposing ESOL students to different viewpoints and problem-solving approaches.
