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

The beautiful diversity in my classroom is quickly growing and changing. This is exciting if you ask me. However, some students don't know how to recognize, understand, and appreciate these differences. That is where we (you and I) come in!

In order for my students to recognize, understand, and appreciate the differences that exist among the classroom population, they must learn about one other from information provided by the students and from a variety of books about different people that might and might not look like them.

Please, help me make a real difference in this world and let's start with with the amazing students in my class!
