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

The card stock that I am requesting will be used to create creative projects for the students to make to enhance their learning of the curriculum.

In kindergarten, the children love doing projects and they learn so much more when they create projects as an extension of their learning.

The card stock will be used to create various projects in reading, math, social studies and science.

My students are very special and they get very excited about making projects. They ask everyday if we are making a project. I try to make projects every day with students. I feel by making projects with my students, I am motivating them not only to learn their subject material but I am also inspiring them to be creative.
