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 plan to use these headsets to replace many broken headsets. Students will wear these while practicing reading and math activities on their Chromebooks. Students enjoy using technology and the individual headsets make it easier for each student to use them.

The border will be used to decorate the classroom and make it bright and inviting.

The border will also enhance student work on bulletin boards in our hallways.

The alphabet lacing activity will offer students a fun way to practice using their fine motor skills and learning letters.
