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

As an experienced English Language Development teacher, I am proud to lead a class of 80 young students in a Title I school. My students have an exceptional ability to pick up the English language, and I am determined to provide them with the best possible learning experience. That's why I want to provide each of my students with a phonic and writing book to help them excel.

I am committed to ensuring that my students receive the best education possible.

As such, I will dedicate 15 minutes of daily class time to teach letters, sounds, words, and how to write sentences. This will enable my students to build a strong foundation for their language skills and achieve their goals.
