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 me in bringing the fun back to learning! Our 4TH grade kiddos work so hard learning, and mastering their basic academics. Why not make their learning environment beautiful and exciting?

Kids thrive in an environment that is fun, colorful, and exciting!

If something is brightly-colored, it’s much more likely to catch a curious kid’s attention. It has been proven that colors are key in children’s learning and development. Kids spend so much of their precious time inside a classroom, why not optimize this special time they spend with us?

Thank you so much for your consideration in this matter. I love teaching, and am very passionate about helping shape the minds of our future leaders!
