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 Legos will be used in the after school program. Students will work in 2 or 3 to build social skills

Building minds and building models are the main goal for students to use their mind in solving pieces.

The students will have communication and at the same time build social skills. In addition, this program will help by keeping them away from cell phones and to be creative. Please help fund this project for my after school program.

My students are energetic, middle school children, and all kind of humor (comedians, serious, bright, needy, etc).
