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

It is important for students to be involved in their daily learning. Freshmen often struggle with being active learners. My Freshmen are struggling in the classroom for collaboration and participation due lack of some resources. These items will be used to help encourage student participation in the classroom.

Each item will enhance the classroom environment in its own way.

The whiteboards will be used for collaborative group work for sharing ideas and answering questions. The Prizes will be for class participation to encourage students to be involved in daily learning. Students learn better when they are not hungry, so providing snacks to them will help to keep them focused during the day.
