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 Global Awareness classroom, our studies cover different parts of the world. My students curiosity exist beyond their neighboring cities, state and countries.

Our carpet will help us to become more geographically aware.

My students are often shocked as to how far, or close problems and solutions around the world are.

Your donation will help my students to make more connections by having the opportunity to be so close to a visual of what we study in our class throughout the year. Your donation will also promote an environment of organization which is an essential tool to help maximize student learning. Please help our students make more connections.

Mrs. Murphy Sunny Brae Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
