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

The new school year is around the corner, and I'm sure my students are all excited to be back in the classroom. As I plan for lessons and activities, I thought of this latest technology to help us with more Science explorations in and out of the classroom. My students are eagerly curious to learn more Science concepts that are generally abstract for them. One goal I have for my students is for them to independently make presentations about a Science topic they are interested about.

With the help of this MacBook, I will be able to facilitate hands-on activities that will make Science more practical and visual.

I am excited to see them explore and learn new things this school year.

Mr. Ben De Anza High School Grades 9-12
