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

As a kindergartner, you have one chance to make your first year special. These tools will help me make sure my students have a great first year, and are excited about starting their education journey! My students come from a wide variety of backgrounds and circumstances, but the one thing that is consistent about all of them- they're excited about learning. Our school's mission is to focus on getting students engaged in STEAM learning and projects. The lounger and LEGO materials in this project will help students in my class be the absolute best they can be.
