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

The items I have chosen for English, Math, Social Studies, and Science along with the Life Skills materials will help my students with the variety of challenges they may face in pursuing their high school education.

The Take-Apart Human Body Model, Interactive Solar System, Cross-Sectional Flower Model will help students visualize science matters.

Students will use the other resource material to learn English, Math, Social Studies, along with the Life Skills information. These resources will help round out my current curriculum so that the foundations can be built for students learn and research their individual classes further. These materials will help my students learn what is needed to be successful in life. Thank you very much for all your assistance.
