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 amazing students have been working so hard and needs the opportunity to let their creativity shine through our end-of-year project-based learning activities. These supplies will allow my students to bring their creative ideas to life as they showcase their understanding of the culminating unit in HMH Into Literature that we are currently reading. Using cardstock, markers, and pencils, students will create a final project centered around the essential question of what it takes to be a survivor.

Please help my students let their creativity run wild through project-based learning!

I am so proud of the work and progress my students have made this year! At this point in the school year, our community pencil supply and rewards bin are running very low. Having access to these materials will ensure that every student has the tools they need to fully participate and feel successful. Your support will help my students celebrate all of their hard work while encouraging creativity, confidence, and self-expression. Thank you for helping give my students the opportunity to let their creativity be the star of the show!
