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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students love to make education fun. We try as a whole, try to make sure that all students understand the question or concept. All students volunteer to teach a certain concept once they master the work.

This year my students played a game call "Beat the Buzzer." This game required scholars to answer the questions correctly with no mistake, but in a timely manner.

Scholars also had white boards with marker and tablet to work out the problems in order to answer the questions correctly. We split the students up by gender. By the end of the day, the male gender won the overall game (the male gender got the most questions correct)
