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 Students

There is a sense of accomplishment when a student takes a photograph and can share a story with it.

The 150 students in my class are part of our district's Gifted and Talented Education program.

They come from diverse backgrounds within our eighteen elementary schools. Many of the students receive free/reduced lunch benefits. The students eagerly await the activities this program provides each week.

My Project

An illustrative photographer differs from a photographic engineer in that the latter will develop a scientific approach along with the habit of minute examination and exact classification. The 48 batteries and 3 chargers our class needs will help students with their photography unit.

Our class needs 48 batteries and 3 chargers to explore photographic engineering.

Photography is a topic that everyone has an opinion about. History and stories are revealed through photography leading to more than 1,000 words.
