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

Help donate some of the basic items for our classroom. I have them complete vocabulary definitions, real-life examples, and visuals weekly and plan to use the color paper for them to be able to differentiate the words and get in groups to review. I also would like to provide the students access to pencil/pen combination so they can be able to use them for multiple classes. We do a lot of projects in our Government and Economics class and often use my laminating machine to be able to laminate their projects so they can take them home and show their parents/guardians their great work. I would like to have more of the sheets for the laminating machines so they can continue to feel proud of their work. The Post-it easel paper is used in my classroom for group work and being able to collaboratively work together.
