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

My students are a group of individually unique and special individuals. They come from very diverse backgrounds. My students are absolutely special to me, each and every one of them. Never before have I seen students with such a strong love for learning. No matter the challenges they face, they are ready to face them with determination and heart. This is a trait rare to see even in an adult, and I can say with certainty each and every one of my seven years old, second graders, possesses it! They deserve the world and more when it comes to their education.

My Project

All of my students need motivation! We can use the ECHO Dot in many ways in the classroom to spark student interest! We can use it as a self-check tool, read-aloud, brain break, phonics, and spell checker, and many many other ways! My students will LOVE the Echo Dot, smart plugs, and a doorbell.

These items will be sure to spark student interest, motivation, and learning!

My students will love the Echo Dot for classroom assistance and guidance when the teacher is teaching a small group, and I will love the doorbell to get students attention quietly.

My students will be highly motivated to accomplish their goals to be able to have the opportunity to use the ECHO, smart plugs, and doorbell.
