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 bring learning about Ancient Civilizations to life for my 6th-grade students. Over the past couple of weeks, we have been researching and learning about how the ancient peoples developed the first civilizations.

Through your generous donations, my students will learn how to create early forms of writing written in clay along with creating Ziggurat structures similar to ancient times.

Students will use the clay to create their symbols for written language and then have students decode their messages. They will then create Ziggurat structures that will challenge them to build a functioning marble run from top to bottom.
