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

All of the materials that will be purchased will help my students better understand how it was to live during the Colonial times.

The weaving board will help them understand all the hard work it took to make cloth back then.

The Baking supplies will be used when we make bread in the classroom and butter.

We will learn about bricklayers and stonemasons, so the bricks and rocks will help them understand how people could still make their homes back then and today.

These supplies will help them imagine all the hard work kids their age would do back then and the adults.
