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

With these supplies, I will be able to post student work on my walls without them getting destroyed. The laminator will protect their work from the students transitioning between classes. They line up and over 200 kids walk along them 5 times a day. Their work keeps getting damaged. When kids see their work on display it encourages them to produce higher level work. It creates a little competition because only the best go up. Other students see our work and get excited about upcoming units.

Our school is a title one school and not everyone has a home where their school work is celebrated.

When I pass back graded work I will often find it in the trash. Yes, even the hundreds. When I ask why; the response is nobody at home cares. I love having the opportunity to show off the hard work of students.
