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

Our goal is to increase student participation and engagement in lessons by 30% by the end of the school year through the use of interactive technology and up-to-date learning materials. Students thrive in an environment where they get to choose how they learn. If I can increase student engagement by providing flexible seating, then there would be no reason not to.

This project is requesting headphones, whiteboards, a cart, markers, crayons, pencils, and other supplies.

By updating our classroom resources, we aspire to cultivate a dynamic learning environment that encourages curiosity and a passion for learning, aiming for a noticeable increase in students pursuing additional projects or research independently.
