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 easel will allow students in the classroom to obtain valuable information, helping them succeed in their subjects. Right now, I have to prop a small whiteboard on my desk chair, which means only the students who sit in the front can see the board. I use the whiteboard every day to write content from our curriculum. Students use the information I write on the easel and chart paper to help them with their assignments. The easel will truly benefit every student in the room.

My students are very special and have amazing talents!

They're eager to learn and love a good challenge, consistently working hard and showing their best every day!
