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 students are struggling with maintaining the work they've completed until it's time to turn in the assignment.

Often they lose their hard work through their disorganization.

I plan to use these materials to keep my students' work safe until they're ready to turn it in, especially those long projects we will be working on this semester. I also want to demonstrate what an organization looks like and how we can keep ourselves accountable for our own workspace. I want the students to be able to keep their work and see their progress as the semester wraps up.
