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

Our students are reading books about animals and their habits.

With your support and generosity our students will have the opportunity to sculpt 3D animals and their environments with Air Dry Clay; they will learn the difficulties that many animals have due to cut down trees, pollution, plastic waste and oil spills in the seas.

With your support and generosity for markers, glue sticks, clay, and other resources, our students will have the opportunity to represent animals and their surroundings.

They will learn to collaborate with the care of the environment, not throwing waste into the sea or onto the ground. Students will become aware of the best way to take care of our planet.
