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 some of the best and the brightest in our district. They are dedicated to putting forth the effort that it takes to get the job done. Although our school year is coming to a close, I am always thinking about the lessons and activities for next year. It's never too early to think about how to improve our learning environment.

Next school year I would like to raise the bar and introduce my students to problem solving that incorporates hands-on activities with digital learning.

Using the BreakoutEdu website along with STEM activities will allow my students to use logic and problem solving in a way that incorporates teamwork and fun. These are skills that they can use in the real world as they begin to think about our global environment and ways to help.
