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

My students are students who need life skills so learning their personal information including their full name, birthdate, address, phone number, etc., is a very important skill for when they are out in their community.

The goal for this project is to create binders for each student to learn and practice their personal information, starting with using Velcro letters and numbers and slowly processing to being able to write.

Throughout the year student will be navigating the community in various ways and knowing their personal information will be a crucial part of them being able to communicate with people as needed.
