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

Help our 5th-grade students by providing hands-on small group learning centers. The items in this project will allow students to engage in hands-on learning experiences. Hands-on learning increases student engagement and knowledge retention. It fosters the development of problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. It allows for the physical creation of tangible outcomes. It can improve social skills and increase motivation and enjoyment in learning. Hands-on learning allows students to gain knowledge of the topic or concept they are studying through experience. Thank you for taking the time to provide a bright future for our students.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
