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

My intervention students are eager to learn and show what they know. By replenishing our supply of cardstock and colored paper, I can create hands-on learning activities to keep students engaged. We also need a pencil sharpener.

Post-it chart paper and markers will help us create anchor charts that will be displayed in the room as reminders of prior learning and that can be built upon over multiple lessons to help support learning.

Our dry-erase marker supply has been depleted and we use the markers daily to practice our new skills on our whiteboard tables which gives students an opportunity to take a break from pencil and paper work.

Please consider helping with this project!
