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'm thrilled to be back in Third Grade Special Education after many years of Math and ELA Intervention. Times have changed and I would like to be sure my students have earphones, comfortable seating and a bright carpet to enhance their learning.

This will be very special year, as I will have students with whom I worked when they were in First Grade.

I can't wait until they see me on the first day of school!

The classroom I am using this year is empty now and was previously used for older students.
