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

Having the proper classroom materials help students have a more successful learning experience and enhances the way of learning by making it fun. The portable desk will allow me to move around the classroom to support students' needs.

The double-sided customizable whiteboards will allow students to write and share their thinking with their classmates in Spanish and English during whole class lessons or in small groups.

These whiteboards are not the common ones, students will be able to interchange templates according to the lessons!

The Centro de sílabas is a tool that gives students the opportunity to actively and independently engage in Spanish literacy and create their own words and sentences.
