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

Fourth graders experience many new milestones. They switch classes for the first time and work with several subject area teachers. It's their first time navigating the hallways between classes while carrying stacks of books, folders, pencil cases, and Chromebooks.

Staying organized is an essential skill for success in math class and beyond.

Providing organizational tools will help my students organize their work, manage their time effectively, and alleviate stress.

Trifolders will provide the organization needed to organize notes, organize completed assignments, and prioritize new work. Tools like post-it dispensers, highlighters, and pens will help students label and organize their mathematical thinking.

Contributions to this project will assist my math students in developing and adopting organizational strategies that will enhance their math abilities and life skills.
