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

Teaching a foreign language to my students brings me so much joy. Each and every one of them holds a special place. They are eager to learn a new language especially Spanish. They learn from me as much as I learn from them. They are also immersed in the Hispanic Culture.

When using the whiteboards they are taking ownership in their learning.

Students are engaged and excited about their learning when their hands are busy. Busy hands lead to busy brains.

They love being able to come up to the board but instead, they will have their own whiteboard and no one feels left out. We will use them for instruction as well as learning through games. The whiteboards can be used for dictation as well as checking their classwork assignments.
