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

There is no better way to learn than to have interaction and collaboration in Science. This HP Pavilion Laptop will help me create interactive and engaging lessons for my 6th-grade students. By having access to material and content I will be able to create thematic lessons covering Life Science, Landforms, and Energy.

What I love about planning is creating lessons that spark student interest.

I know the use of this laptop will provide thoughtful and intentional material and ideas. I hope that it will spark the creativity that will go beyond my classroom.
