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

My students need 3 ring binders to set up and maintain. We use these binders from day 1 of school through the last day.

These binders helps support student executive skills, and aid in their transition to high school.

I find that many of my students benefit from having a binder that they keep and maintain throughout the year.

This way they can refer to their previous work at any time. Further this allows students to have a portfolio of all their work that makes them proud.

With proper execution, the organized binder system allows students to feel more confidence with approaching physics.
