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

The use of the color paper is for students to have easier access to keeping track of materials. When they know which color work sheet we are working on, they have an easier time finding it. The calculators help them solve problems quicker on test and class practice. The glue will serve students when they are making posters for their presentations. The folders are also another way student can organize their different class assignments. Overall, these material will benefit my students as they continue to finish out this school year. Some may even benefit other students in the future.
