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

This year is super exciting! We are moving towards a learning model where students collaborate and discuss constantly. I would love to be able to show off their strategies by displaying their work outside of the classroom.

Help me provide my students with chart paper, markers, and dry-erase markers to be able to show of their brilliant thinking abilities in the hallways.

My students are always so proud to show their mastery of skills.

The use of chart paper and markers would help us create their diagrams/work, the cork strips would allow us to display their beautiful work without damaging our walls, and the dry-erase markers would allow them to use their individual boards throughout our math courses.
