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 work with small and big groups of students who struggle in the general education classroom. The students I see need a little extra support with repetitions and some accommodations to access the general education curriculum.

Markers, pencils, crayons, dry-erase markers, dry-erase boards, and even a bean bag chair are all essential to get the year started off with a fresh start.

They will allow the students to put in the challenging work so they can close the gap between them and their grade-level peers. The new supplies also serve as a new sign for a new start for some of them.
