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 Students

Our bilingual classroom is full of very creative and hardworking students who are curious about the world and are self-motivated learners!

At our school and in our classroom, our goal is to develop mindful leaders who take action both now and in the future to positively impact their communities and the world beyond.

Using a foundation of academic knowledge and global-mindedness, each student will create a life of possibility and contribute to a more peaceful and just society.

My kids are passionate and creative. They love to curl up with a book and be transported into different worlds, from that of Pete the Cat to the Pyrenees Mountains.

We will ignite a movement to create a better world. We will transform our educational systems by becoming an incubator of innovation.

My Project

In our school, we do 6 units of inquiry study involving our environment, healthy bodies, transportation, farm to table, light and sound as well as animal adaptations. These all-inclusive theme boxes will make it easy for our students to explore all of our topics with hands-on games, activities, play, and experiments!

Your support will allow our kiddos to utilize props and manipulatives that will give them a concrete sense of each concept.

In each unit, we have exploration centers as these theme boxes will give students a chance to learn through play! All students have an opportunity to engage and toggle with them.
