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 am grateful that I could count on your help and support. This time, students would like more visual posters for money, language essentials, reading comprehension, animal classification, and others to help promote understanding while they learn.

Visual posters reinforce their learning and help struggling students feel confident while working.

Having a poster all year long for reading comprehension or grammar would facilitate my students' going back and checking for understanding. Visual Posters will be part of a support system for my students while they are reading or writing for an assignment. Thank you for your support and generosities. I couldn't done this without your help and support.
