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 am hoping to create new and engaging math and reading centers for my class. My students use math and reading centers to help practice the skills we are working on each day. The materials I am requesting through this project will be used to create differentiated centers for my class.

My students are motivated by math and reading centers.

My hope is to allow my students to have independence during their center time with organized centers. This project will allow me to create activities that align with what students are learning throughout the year.
