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

This project will allow my students to learn basic nutrition information, cooking and sewing skills. These are important skills that will help them make healthy choices and have fun. In addition, these activities will be used in conjunction with academics we are already working on. For example, they will practice math skills, like adding fractions and decimals while reading recipes. They will be able to write a story about a character they can make out of fabric.

These real-world skills will connect the students to opportunities that they may not have access to outside of the classroom.

I will be able to invite volunteers and community members in to the classroom to assist with these projects, who will be able to share their talents with the students.
