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

Hello, My name is Mrs B, I am currently teaching at a middle school in El Cerrito. I am trying to get all the materials needed for our cultural project (next semester) for all my Spanish classes. I definitely need your help. We will be using a cultural artifact to show during class, I will try to make homemade tortillas (corn) for my own cultural project and hopefully, they feel encouraged to share something about their culture. My students have the abilities for a successful academic year and definitely all resources should be provided. With your donation/ support my students will have everything they need to be successful.
