FULLY FUNDED! Mr. CARDENAS's classroom raised $199

This project is fully funded

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

The materials will be used in a project called My Tiny House, students are learning how to use 3D sketching designing their Tiny Houses.

They will use the cardboard to build their houses including all material learned in class; measurements, materials, scales, etc.

The cardboard will be used so students can learn how to cut, glue, and apply basic skills in designing and building a small structure.

The students in the classroom come from low-income families and the material will be a great help for their skill development.
