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 so eager to show their learning and creativity! The basics from pencils, markers and batteries will keep us running for the home stretch of the school year.

We can’t wait to make buzzing brush bugs with the batteries and markers!

Excitement and engagement are so important for maintaining student learning to the years’s end! These basic materials will be used across all grade levels-8 on a daily basis. Let’s keep the learning excitement going!!

Supplies keep us right on track for Full STEAM ahead to the end of school.

Mrs. Mantini
Grades 3-5
