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 Students

Do you like working with your hands? Do you find it easier to learn tasks by doing them instead of just reading about them? I want my students to be able to experience that, too.

I teach a terrific group of 4th graders who love to learn in new ways.

They are from the inner-city and welcome exciting activities away from video games. These kids need to see that there are other ways to gain knowledge and know that reading and writing is fun.

My Project

With your generous donation, these wonderful kids can put together words, pictures, and phrases to create a story. They can also learn to use their hands and minds together to express themselves. They will be able to create books and share them with younger students.

Allowing students to express themselves in new and innovative ways is one way in which they can learn to love learning.

It's important for them to gain better hand-eye coordination and creativity.
