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

My students are immigrants of Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras. Many have endured poverty, hardships, violence, and traumatic experiences in their countries of origin. They are 4th graders who love to learn, love to hug, love to experience the new world in which they now live. But although we have a lot of love to give them, we still need the resources to make learning experiential and exciting like microscopes, so they can learn the wonder of rocks, how crystals form, and the importance of preserving the natural resources of California.
