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

You can teach a concept tens of ways, pull the student to reteach, but yet they'll still struggle sometimes. I bet you'd believe me if I told you that books help.

Books can help reteach and enhance math and science concepts I previously taught!

The books in this project target the three types of angles, geometry, perimeter & area, and outer space! With your help, students can learn more about these targeted concepts that are taught in 4th grade. My students are curious by nature and these continue to help them gain knowledge about current and past standards!
