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 Nasco Knife safety kit will be the best tool to use to help educate the students on proper etiquette on using sharp and dangerous kitchen tools in a proper and safe manner.

The Nasco Bakery kit will help my students be able to create not only a bakery, but, a successful business in the food world.

This kit will be essential to helping teach the students’ financial literacy in the food world.

The deluxe yacker tracker will help create a visual monitor that will create a nice, calm environment for the students as they can visually see the noise they are creating.
