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

My students are special because because each student bring their own unique cultural and personal experiences which enriches the classroom environment.

My students have overcome challenges with determination and perseverance, inspiring those around them to achieve their goals as well.

This project aims to provided students with resources and prizes that will enhance their iReady learning experience. By integrating various educational tools, we will create a supportive environment for students who are thriving in math. The educational games and prizes will reinforce the skills learned in iReady and motivate students to achieve the goals they have set for themselves.
