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

Some teachers prefer using a chalkboard over digital alternatives because they find it more effective for certain types of lessons or subjects. Some educators believe that writing on a chalkboard provides a tactile learning experience that can be beneficial for students, especially those who learn better through physical interaction. When the internet goes out unexpectedly, teachers often find themselves in a situation that requires quick thinking and adaptability. In today's tech-driven educational landscape, where digital resources and online platforms play a crucial role in lesson delivery, losing internet connectivity can disrupt the flow of a class. However, experienced educators know how to navigate these challenges and make the necessary adjustments to ensure that learning continues effectively.

Crayons are versatile tools for art projects, allowing students to express their creativity through drawing and coloring, and we use crayons/markers in class for activities such as creating illustrations, coloring worksheets, or making posters for classroom displays.

Teachers use calendars to schedule and track student assessments, including quizzes, tests, projects, and presentations. By marking assessment dates on a calendar, teachers can ensure that students are adequately prepared and that assessments are spaced out evenly.

With a wireless mouse, teachers can control their computer or projector from a distance, eliminating the need to walk back and forth between the computer and the front of the classroom. This efficiency saves time during lessons and allows teachers to focus more on instruction and student interaction.
