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 Students

My students are special because each and every one of them is unique, hard-working, caring, funny, full of perseverance, and most of all they are our FUTURE! These students will be our future doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, politicians, and those that will be taking care of us.

My Project

Privacy is crucial to the learning environment. The privacy boards would allow each student to focus and work independently.

I want my students to thrive, take test and complete assignments independently.

This would also help me understand who needs more support and who is ready to move on based on their scores. I am not able to get a good understanding if they are sharing answers or spending time trying to look on their peers paper. These privacy boards would allow me to collect accurate data to better plan my lessons .
