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

I use one of the AVID strategies as one way to teach my students to be organized.

I am asking for two items: glue and notebooks.

Students turn their notebooks into a reference guide for math. Students use glue and paste worksheets into their notebooks. They also write important notes in their notebooks. I teach them how to look for answers during a test through the notebook.

Gluing worksheets into their notebooks also prevents students from losing their worksheets.
