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 love that my students are eager to learn about different areas of the world including different cultures and languages.

I love how 100% of my class are English language learners, so a lot of my students from different Latin countries from around the world.

My students are special because they come from diverse backgrounds and many of them recently moved to the United States. A lot of them from low-income countries such as Venezuela and Columbia.

The microphone can help them make a difference in their learning because it will help increase student engagement to promote learning and it will be used to read the requested books. They also need face masks and pencils.
