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

What I love about my students is their eagerness to learn, despite their disability. Some of my students, however, have a hard time understanding the lesson. All students are unique and learn differently.

The materials in this project will help me differentiate the lesson and introduce an easier way for my students to grasp the content.

Science experiments, hands on activities, and interactive math tools are essential in my classroom, such as these iron filings and magnets.

Some of my students are visual learners therefore, introducing a video that can give them a better understanding is needed. This is when headphones come in handy.
