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

I am requesting colored paper to make sure my students are able to see the notes they are given in a colorful way!

Research has shown that by seeing things in color helps you retain the information!

By giving my notes on colored paper, the students are more likely to remember what is being taught.

My students are those that really struggle with math concepts and I want to give them the opportunity to learn and progress on their math skills. We live in a time where visual learning is huge and what better way to have students learn the concepts of math than with a colorful set of notes that they can refer to.
