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 student will benefit because it can help them improve their math and writing abilities.

My students need help with math, reading and writing, and I would use the small white boards to check the students' comprehension.

They would show the teacher how they quickly solve their problems on the whiteboards.

The water bottles are for the students to drink water after gym or lunch time, there is no functioning drinking fountain in some places in the school. The students can get their water and bring it to class. They need water, especially after gym or play time during lunch time.
