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

Students in my 3rd grade class have a strong desire to learn. I want to incorporate a way for learning to be fun and happen in a way that is understandable. The class manipulatives will help them to engage in learning in a whole new way.

Having these materials will create a way for students to practice skills, interact with peers and even challenge the way they think and process learning in the classroom.

It will help to nurture the mindset that with various ways to practice their skills, their learning abilities will increase.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
