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

We will be putting the graphic composition journals to use, students will be able to take notes of essential information to make them successful both in math and science. They will be able to make their journals more exciting and eye popping by using the mechanical pencils, colored pencils, markers, and pens to highlight the important vocabulary or formulas.

Our school teaches our students to be leaders, what better way to reward students, by having a special chair available for them.

So they can enjoy the comforts of working where they are more comfortable.

The office supplies are needed to keep everything organized. The dividers will be used to separate our work in our binders, so we can get to it as soon as possible. The tabs to keep our graphic journals in order. The heavy plastic folders will be use to create a portfolio of all their awesome work for the rest of the year.

We shall also use the drawing books to become better at drawing in our journal and for future science projects or science drawings. We'll be using the pins to pin up our work on the wall, to show off our talent. They will also be used to reward students for doing their best throughout the year.

The airplane book will be used to measure length of the flight and also to learn about forces and motion. The science books will be used to insure that the proper standards are used to teach the student the current NGSS.

The two science kits and the microscope will be used in our centers to enhance the students science experience and give them a sense of what our world is all about. We shall use the 1 inch Flet letters to place our calendar.
