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 large Post-it Dry Erase Board Film will be a game-changer for my students' learning by providing a dynamic and collaborative workspace. This readily available, expansive surface will foster active engagement and allow for simultaneous participation, moving beyond individual desk work. The removable and stain-proof nature of the film offers the flexibility to transform any area into an interactive learning zone without permanent alterations, maximizing the use of our limited classroom space and encouraging spontaneous collaborative learning opportunities.

My primary goal for this project is to cultivate a more interactive and student-centered learning environment.

I aim to move away from traditional, passive learning and empower students to take ownership of their learning through active participation and collaboration. By providing a large, shared writing surface, I want to encourage more group work, peer teaching, and visual thinking strategies. This will not only deepen their understanding of concepts but also enhance their communication and teamwork skills, preparing them for future academic and professional endeavors.

What makes my students truly special is their incredible resilience and their unwavering curiosity despite facing various challenges. They come from diverse backgrounds and possess a remarkable eagerness to learn and grow. They are creative, resourceful, and possess a unique ability to support and uplift one another. Providing them with innovative tools like this dry-erase film will not only enhance their learning experiences but also show them that their potential is limitless and that their learning environment is valued and invested in.
