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

Please help us refresh our classroom materials for the remainder of the school year! Throughout the year, my goal is for students to become active participants in their learning. This will help them become more engaged with the material so they will appreciate it more. To do this, I would love to provide materials like individual whiteboards and pens, physical copies instead of online thesauruses, clipboards, binder rings for vocabulary cards, etc.

The students will benefit from these supplies because they will learn essential study skills that do not just rely on the computer.

This will ensure they can be successful throughout the year and beyond.

Grades 6-8
