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 Students

To tell a story opens up a world of imagination and unending enjoyment. Did you ever have a story in your head and wanted to share it with others? This is where my students are at, they would love to tell stories, but they don't have the ability to get those stories out of their minds.

My students are high energy, creative individuals who love to read and share their learning with others.

Their love for learning shows through their faces and eyes in all they do. Stepping into our classroom you will see students working together or by themselves on anything that interests their minds. We hope to capture this learning to show others around the world. Whenever learning it occurs it's powerful to share that learning with others. Not only does that learning stay within our school or with our state of Indiana, but it can go around the world.

My Project

Check, one, two, three. Did you get that Joe? I can't wait to share this story. Do you think we can add to our story? These are the questions that happen everyday, but with a digital voice recorder students can record their stories, learning, and reading to make sure that others can see their learning. Why not give students the power of sharing their stories with others around the world today? Students become more experienced learners when they are constantly creating and revising. Help our students show their learning to others with the purchase of these voice recorders.

The chance to record learning is priceless.

Any learning that can be saved and then looked back on holds students accountable to their own learning. These voice recorders allow students to collaborate and work together, please help my students capture their creative energy with these voice recorders. Remember the story you loved listening to? With the help of your donations students can share those stories they love instead of keeping those to themselves.
