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

I love that my students are curious, creative, energetic, and always eager to discover something new. The media center gives them a place to explore their interests while building important skills.

STEM activities will encourage problem-solving and critical thinking, while LEGO will help students practice creativity, teamwork, and perseverance.

Craft supplies will give students opportunities for hands-on learning and self-expression.

Reading incentives will motivate students to develop positive reading habits and take pride in their accomplishments. Decorations will create a welcoming, exciting space where every student feels comfortable learning, creating, and exploring.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
