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

My students are innovative and hands on learners. They love being crafty, experimenting and expressing themselves creatively. My students learn best when they are given tactile materials to work with.

I want to help my students tap into their kinesthetic learning styles through arts and crafts.

This is why I am asking for the materials to make slime in our classroom. My students love making slime and I use this as a classroom incentive. There are so many lessons that can be learned from making slime as well such as chemical reactions, math, and sensory release.
