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 students are active, curious learners who thrive when they can move, explore, and interact with their environment. To make ELA and Math more engaging, I want to take learning beyond our desks. With clipboards, students can write clearly while working on activity sheets during outdoor lessons, gallery walks, or math scavenger hunts. Copier ink will allow me to print reading passages, writing prompts, and math practice sheets that support hands-on learning. These tools will help us turn everyday spaces into learning opportunities and keep students motivated and focused, no matter where we are.
