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

Our class are truly learning how to properly behave and excel in a traditional classroom setting - post COVID. We are working hard to provide a positive classroom environment with a rich curriculum. In our class we know that our students will succeed with more positivity if we can create a system of some support - especially when it comes to positive and fun learning lessons to help deal with insecurity as a result of COVID.

Sphero Robots will help uncovering fun projects and challenges that reinforce STEM skills.

Our students are eager to learn and return to a functional classroom setting - post COVID. A little room for encouragement never hurt anyone. Thank you for considering our classroom.

Mrs. Ontiveros
Grades 6-8
