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 celebrates our hardworking Algebra 1 team, whose unwavering dedication to student success is truly inspiring. Each day, they go above and beyond to prepare our students for the STAAR Algebra 1 test at the end of the school year. Their commitment to fostering a positive learning environment is evident in the way they engage and motivate their students.

By providing pencils and interactive notebooks, our team empowers students to take ownership of their learning.

These notebooks not only serve as a creative outlet but also as a vital resource for mastering algebraic concepts. The hands-on approach encourages students to visualize problems, organize their thoughts, and collaborate with peers.

Thanks to the relentless efforts of our Algebra 1 team, many students are gaining confidence and skills that will benefit them not only for the test but for their future academic endeavors. With your support, we can equip our students with the necessary tools to continue this trend of success and foster a love for mathematics that lasts a lifetime!
