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

We need more paint brushes. this will allow students to express environmental science concepts through models and visuals. Using artistic avenues provides a more engaging experience, ideal for visual learners.

We need storage bins.

The bins equate to staying organized. They will keep materials tidy, helping students find what they need and stay on task. It will make for independent learners because they will have easy access to organized supplies which empowers students to manage their learning. The bins will also streamline group work by keeping supplies together, reducing lost time.

By donating paint brushes and storage bins, you're not just giving supplies – you're investing in future environmental leaders who will learn, create, and collaborate in our classroom.
