Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My first grade Superheroes are hands-on and visual learners. We currently have a document camera, but it so needs to be replaced. The quality of the once brightly lit camera is fading away. Having a document camera allows me to model and demonstrate Mathematics and Science concepts to my students.

Students will be able to see things clearly with a classroom document camera as they learn in a hands-on way.

As students learn in class about financial literacy and the value of money, students will be able to utilize the document camera to showcase their understanding of money. Students will be able to visually showcase their other classwork in Mathematics and Science.
