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

Please help us refresh our classroom materials for the new school year! Throughout the year, my history class does various activities to make what we learn in a book more concrete through hands-on experiences. The course will use chalk pastels, colored pencils, construction paper, and Flair pens to make this a reality. Their projects will include creating their cave art, writing like an ancient Egyptian scribe, Chinese brush painting, and so much more.

The students will benefit from these supplies because they will have the ability to have access to important tools to enhance their learning.

This is key because I want them to make the history we learn more tangible. This will ensure they will remember the history as they have fun!
