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 are getting into the process of annotating and taking notes about all of the articles we are reading in class.

With the use of the thermal printers my students will be able to easily print off diagrams and images from the article and websites and add them to their notebook.

These printers will be used by all my students and all the students will be able to retain information better from their notes by being able to reflect on the images, graphs, and diagrams they choose.

Help make taking notes more exciting by donating to my project!
