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

My classroom has limited wall space--but my whiteboards are magnetic. I will use the magnets to hold notes, posters, and anchor charts. The mobile podium will allow me to access my Promethean Board from anywhere in the classroom--using either my laptop or the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. The timers will allow students to clearly see how much time is left on the the assignemnts.

I'm working hard to make the best use of the limited space I have.

Most of my curriculum has digital versions that project the lessons for the class to see from anywhere in the room. With this cart, I can move out from in front of the students so I am not obstructing their view.
