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

My students will be able to listen to IXL and Reflex math without distractions using their headphones. They will also be able show off their math skills using their whiteboards. The pencil sharpeners will allow me to always have sharpened pencils for students to write and show their creative abilities.

The students use IXL and Reflex math in small groups.

These programs will read to the students, and headphones will allow my students to use this feature. Students also use their whiteboards to solve math problems and show their work.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
