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 goal for his project is to add creativity to my students' learning! The children are eager to learn and inspire me with the joy and passion that they have for life! The activities and projects that we can create with these materials will stimulate more excitement and interest in science, math and reading.

My kids are special....to me, to their families and to their community.

They are our future artists, scientists, mathematicians, writers and leaders! Let's give them the tools that they need to succeed !!!

Thank you so very much!

Ms. Barron The Varnett School - Southwest Grades PreK-2
