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

Learning history isn't always fun, especially with all the readings and evidence we encounter as we study. However, I felt that one way to make it more engaging for students is to use more creative printouts, handouts, and technology.

The school's copier only prints in black and white, so having a printer in my classroom can elevate my instruction.

The students will be more engaged once the colored presentation on the television screen matches the colored handouts they have.

By helping out, you'll help the students have a more engaging and engaging classroom. I create the layouts of the visuals in my classroom, but I always have to consider how to make them creative by printing them in black and white. So, I think this project can help me make my classroom more engaging and friendly to students.

With pencils, it is also to help students not to go through the everyday struggle of not having or losing pencils every day.
