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

The requested highlighters and class set of pencil boxes will greatly benefit learning in our geometry class. With geometry's focus on shapes and vocabulary, a variety of highlighter colors will enable students to take more comprehensive notes and establish connections more efficiently. By color-coding their notes, students can visually organize complex concepts, leading to improved understanding and retention. Our objective is to equip students with the resources necessary to excel in geometry, fostering strong analytical skills that will serve them well in their academic endeavors. The pencil boxes will be used to house these highlighters for easier distribution.
