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 Students

My students are from a socio-economically disadvantaged area striving to learn every single day. With the pandemic that hit, many were disappointed in the fact they were not able to come face-to-face.

They are always excited to learn new topics.

My Project

Help me provide more for my students by giving them paper assignments in different colors. Learning can be draining and tiring for students especially when the school day is about 8 hours long. With chrome books now being in the classroom, paper assignments are not as common as before. What surprises me is that my students do like paper assignments.

They have expressed that they get the most out of learning when the lesson/material is on paper.

To make it more exciting and organized, I want to provide assignments in specific colors. This will not only get them excited due to different colored paper, but also keep them engaged by the assorted variety of bright colored paper assignments.
