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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The requested items will be used by students to complete their final research project on different countries of the world. They have been studying hard during the second half of this year, and these materials will provide them with the opportunity to share what they have learned with each other about other countries, showcase their knowledge, and ignite a desire to visit other places.

Each student will have a different country to research, a listing of needed topics such as currency, type of government, foods, climate, and other criteria based on what has been covered in each region, and the opportunity to showcase their creative side while also displaying what they've learned about other cultures.
