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

An ice machine in our classroom would be a game-changer for creating a comfortable and engaging learning environment for my students. Many children come to school without access to cold, refreshing water, especially during hot months, and an ice machine would ensure they stay hydrated and focused. Ice can also be used in hands-on science experiments, teaching concepts like states of matter and temperature, making learning interactive and fun.

Your contribution toward an ice machine will also foster a sense of community and care in our classroom.

It will provide a practical solution for students who need ice for minor injuries, like bumps or bruises, ensuring they feel cared for without disrupting their learning. Additionally, an ice machine can enhance classroom activities, such as hosting small celebrations or creating sensory experiences for younger learners.
