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

Learning can take many forms. One learning style is visual, and there is not always a good way to paint a picture for students.

My students are great.

There are students from many places in the world that blend in to create a unique classroom culture. Even though my children are not at an economical advantage, they can do a lot with very little. Nonetheless, they are also appreciative when an opportunity comes along.

My Project

The saying goes,'a picture is worth a thousand words'. In this case, it truly is representative of what can be accomplished with a digital camera. Now, students don't have just see the example, they can also be the example. Pictures can be used for vocabulary, writing, science, math, etc., and this is just the beginning.

Please consider contributing to this opportunity that will enhance student learning and creativity.

By capturing multiple small moments, we will be able to create life long learning.
