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

Most of the item I requested where rewards for every achievement that the students will be able to achieve in class. Chocolates and cookies were great motivation for them to participate specially in My history class. These can be very helpful for them to participate in class. The Grade 9 student in history and sign language class would benefit because this will help them boost confidence when they participate and given rewards. The different other materials can help me preserve the technology that the school provided us. It can also be helpful specially on my elevate class where technology is badly needed.
