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

Learning by doing is essential to experiential learning environments. That is because when students are engaged with their hands and their minds, they are more focused and motivated to learn. The hands-on learning benefits that students experience in the classroom help children of all ages and abilities to retain knowledge and grow. During this extremely critical period of learning, help me immerse and engage my students in their education.

The last two years have been challenging, to say the least.

Please, help me reawaken my students' curiosity and eagerness to learn by funding the highly engaging materials I have selected. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!
