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

Curious, inquisitive, and adventurous---that's the best way to describe my fifth-grade class. They are always eager to learn and share their creative ideas with others. Although they are talented, they wish to have creative outlets of self-expression. This project will help them visualize and enhance their work through technology.

Let's get them excited about learning and give them the tools to help them succeed!

Since we are a federally designated Title I school in the heart of Miami, most of my students come from predominantly low-income homes, but they are eager to learn.

We have the honor of working in an inclusion class where many students have disabilities or have difficulty learning. Please help my students achieve beyond their exceptionalities and provide them with the confidence, knowledge, and tools they need to succeed. With your help, we can make sure they are able to succeed.

My Project

Students are always looking for ways to be active participants in the classroom! Help me give them the tools to express themselves and take part in lessons and practice exercises.

Using dry-erasable boards will allow students to show their work, ideas, and responses to the entire class in a fun and engaging format.

Dry-erase boards are great for students working in small groups. Keeping a stack of boards along with markers and erasers will help students jot the answer down on their dry-erase boards before sharing with the group and then the whole class. Class materials such as pencils and markers tape will help students that are not prepared for class. The caddies will help to keep materials organized.
