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 work with a wonderful group of kids! Most of them come to school willing to learn, no matter the hardships they may be facing at home. Most, if not all of my students are from economically disadvantaged homes and they may not have seen education as a priority. This is why it is not only my job to teach them math, but to try my best to help them enjoy learning.

Incorporating Glow Days for review will help motivate my students to stay engaged and involved in their learning.

These black lights will help to make my entire classroom glow. I have smaller ones now, but they dont reach all of the student desks. With 90 minutes of math every day, I know they get tired of hearing me talk, so this is another way I can help make learning fun.
