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

We will use the dry erase boards and markers every day for writing, practicing letters and words, and writing and practicing numbers as well. We get a lot of use from these materials from the start of school until the last day of school.

When students have the ability to practice using and holding the marker and physically writing, this helps to strengthen hand and arm muscles.

This drastically decreases the amount of paper waste in our classroom and allows us to continue practicing as many times as necessary until we can show that we understand new concepts.
