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

Hello, My Name is Mr. Saladino and my project is designed to encourage growth in struggling children. My role is to provide intervention with 5th graders who are having a tough time and need a little extra care in their education. As they prepare for the big jump to middle/junior high, I am tasked with assisting in reinforcing skills that will better prepare them on their academic path.

With this project, my aim is to use educational games and rewards to keep them engaged and learning in a way that doesn’t seem like learning.

By providing them with an alternative way to look at math and English language arts, the goal is help with retention while making learning fun.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
