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

Ah, the Valentine candy and paper towels and seat project! It's not just about satisfying my sweet tooth, I promise. I'm planning a math project that involves measurements, ratios. What better way to make learning fun than with a dash of sweetness?

The candy is a clever motivator and as for the paper towels and seat cushions, they're a crucial element in our hands-on projects in group work.

Whether it's cleaning up after experiments or creating artistic masterpieces, having the right supplies makes a world of difference.

The overall goal of this project is to make learning a dynamic and engaging experience. By incorporating real-life applications and hands-on activities, we're not just memorizing facts; we're understanding and applying them. It's all about fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and a love for learning.
