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, love, love my students! They all have very imaginative ideas when it comes to building with blocks. I enjoy watching their little minds work putting a block here and there and then switching them in different places. Each one of them are very unique in their own ways. When they work together they build amazing things.

Being able to get these new blocks for my students will help build stronger relationships with one another, great teamwork and wonderful language skills.

I can’t wait to see the new things that they can build!
