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 summer is approaching and my students need to stay cool! Our classes are outdoors therefore we tend to feel the heat a little more and are looking for ways to stay cool. By having a fridge with a freezer, my students can freeze waters and popsicles that they can look forward to after their physical education class. Throughout the day, my students can also keep those waters and refreshments and/or their personal refreshments in the refrigerator/freezer that way they stay cool for the rest of the school day while the temperatures rise.
