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

It is no easy task to develop lessons and activities to keep students engaged in their learning. I have to take into consideration their personalities, reading levels, learning gaps and the list goes on and on. But once the unit has been completed, there is no better feeling than seeing their growth and understanding displayed throughout the work completed.

A podcast station will allow my students to take their learning beyond the four walls of our classroom.

I am very blessed to be working with an age group that is resilient and hardworking. No matter what they may be going through, our classroom is a safe place for them to emerge their minds into the world of science.

A podcast station will allow my students to take their learning beyond our classroom and connect with other peers. I picture other students spreading the word about our podcast shows and carrying the new knowledge to their friends and family.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase student attention and focus. You will ultimately help to increase their academic achievement.
