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

As a multilingual language teacher it is my job to help students from all backgrounds learn how to speak English so they can socialize and learn. My students are dedicated and eager to come to school despite their struggles of not knowing the language of their peers. This is why it is important for me to create an environment that they feel comfortable and welcomed. The flexible seats I chose will help my students have options in working comfortably in the classroom. The games I selected will encourage my students to learn the language in a fun and exciting way. The cleaning supplies will ensure that my environment is clean and free from germs that will affect student attendance. By purchasing these items you will help my classroom become a healthy fun loving environment for students who look forward to coming to school to learn productively.
