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

In this project, I am requesting acrylic paints. My students are going to paint their mother's prefered flowers for Mother's Day. We already have canvases and brushes from previous project, and what we need now are paints. You will be helping my students create special gifts for their moms, and it will be more meaningful than store-bought gifts. This will give my students also the opportunity to show their gratitude for their mothers.

My scholars will use the brain model as they learn about the parts of the brain and its functions.

Learning with a realia will make the lesson engaging. Your support will help provide hands on learning for my students. Your support is greatly appreciated.
