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

My students love to help out around the classroom. They also love to participate and work in small groups. The easel in this project would make it easy for me to go around group by group but also light enough for students to move around the classroom because of its wheels. The easel would allow us to share our thoughts, findings, and questions for everyone to see.

An easel is such an essential need in the classroom for different purposes especially to create anchor charts to support student learning.

The additional items in this project are student incentives that are earned by following expectations, completing tasks, and meeting weekly goals.
