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

I want to help improve and increase student attention and focus by using whiteboards in the classroom. The use of whiteboards will allow my students to work collaboratively in small groups, record modeled strategies, and show and share their work easily. Using whiteboards will allow me to quickly check for understanding and modify lessons if necessary. Your donation will help provide colored pencils,markers, and craft scissors that will allow them to take ownership of their work.

Please know that you will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement and make a difference in my students' lives.
