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

This project would provide my students with the supplies they need to work together in class. They can be used in math and reading and all other areas. English language learners can use the chart paper and markers to communicate and draw, to show their problem solving. These supplies give them the chance to show their thinking, work together , and be creative when solving problems. The markers and paper can bring their ideas to life. They can use these supplies to design projects and work together and create. Students thrive off opportunities to work together and collaborate, while learning from each other.
