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

I run the Lego, Arts & Crafts, and Multiplication Scholars Club. Our parents in our community are low-income and they are hard working parents. With that said our students will benefit from the resources by enhancing their learning.

During Lego Club I have challenges for our students.

However, we need the Lego boards to display them in our room after they are done with their creations. Arts & crafts Club has been fun too, we make crafts based on the seasons or holidays coming up.

Our Multiplication Scholars, have been awesome! My mission is to teach their multiplications by playing games.

Your help, will make a great difference to our students! Thank you in advance.
