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

Many of my hardworking students are interested in pursuing a trade, apprenticeship, or job after graduation and value hands on projects and the use of technology in class.

Our classroom only has two electrical outlets but students need more to charge their computers.

Students will use the surge protectors and chargers to charge their electrical devices and all materials will be used in class to give students the opportunity of engaging with history through project-based learning.

Students will maintain year long peer-reviewed portfolios with self inking stamps, folders, paper, and pencils. The fidgets are for students who need help concentrating and for releasing excess energy. Calculators are for graphing, analyzing historical statistics.
