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

In our Special Education LLD classroom for grades 3–5, amazing things happen every day — and with your help, they can be even more amazing! LEGO building sets bring amazing opportunities for our students to develop amazing problem-solving skills, amazing fine motor coordination, and amazing teamwork. With the LEGO Creator Exotic Parrot, LEGO Creator Retro Roller Skate, and LEGO Icons Santa’s Post Office, students will dive into amazing worlds where their creativity can soar in amazing ways.

Our classroom thrives on amazing hands-on learning experiences.

Every amazing brick connects to another, helping our amazing learners follow step-by-step directions and complete amazing projects that they can proudly share. The joy on their faces when an amazing creation comes to life is truly priceless.

These amazing sets will not only inspire amazing stories and amazing role-play but will also encourage amazing patience, amazing perseverance, and amazing self-confidence. With your amazing support, we can continue building an amazing classroom environment where every amazing student has the chance to shine in amazing ways — one brick at a time.
