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

These materials benefit students to be more independent in the kitchen. They will be used so that they learn to use the tools in the correct way. Some of these materials are to be able to have more comfort when using the computer. The keyboard and mouse would be for my personal use since I have a desktop. In the apartment classroom, we have a chalkboard that I usually decorate according to the holidays or any event that is happening or is going to happen. My students lost every single hall pass during this school year, which is why I added a package.

Ms. Alba Roxborough High School Grades 9-12

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
