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

We know that our students can be successful. Our students need some time to celebrate this success!

Not surprisingly, students do better when they feel in control of their learning.

Robert Marzano’s (2009) review of research, finds goal setting can produce student learning gains of between 18 and 41 percentile points. Across a variety of grade levels, subject areas, and studies, effective goal-setting practices help students focus on specific outcomes, encourage them to seek academic challenges, and make clear the connection between immediate tasks and future accomplishments (Stronge & Grant, 2014).

I would like to illustrate every time our students reach a goal by hanging a pair of Snowflakes in the hallway. Please consider helping me to purchase these snowflakes so that get students excited for all that they have accomplished.

Thank you for helping us with this classroom basic!
