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

One of the toughest part of teaching is engaging students at the end of the day. Those eighth period classes are difficult to keep focused, let alone control.

I want to create a galaxy of calm for my students.

Many of these children have attention deficit disorders. They require a lot of attention and focus prompts. What better than to provide them with a projector of realistic space images and a stool to balance themselves?

Can you imagine a classroom where calm space music is playing, and students are discovering the different stars in the sky? What about a star scavenger hunt? I am grateful for your time.
