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

I came into the classroom halfway through the year. The students were sad to see their old teacher go and had to adjust to a change.

My goal is to create a fun reading space in the classroom.

This will make the books and reading more appealing to them while motivating them to read and learn.

I feel very proud of all of my students because they are an advanced class. They learn very quickly, very well behaved and respectful. They also like old fashioned learning, without too much technology.
