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 are great respectful students who want to do well in school. They are willing to put all their effort and energy when learning math because they were given materials in the beginning of the year. Notebooks, pencils, glue-sticks, colored pen, and an accessible sharpener is what allowed these students to stay organized and succeed, which is why next years students will need the same to have the same successful results. Through a math notebook, students were able to keep their notes and stay organized with printed materials and foldables.
