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

Mrs. Garza is dedicated to fostering lifelong learning skills in our library through engaging STEM activities. Introducing Sphero robots will provide students with valuable experience in basic coding, creating a dynamic environment where education is both fun and motivational. By integrating these activities into the library, students will have the opportunity to learn collaboratively while developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

This initiative aims to inspire a love for learning and exploration, preparing students for future challenges in an increasingly technology-driven world.

Your support will help us create an enriching educational experience that extends beyond the classroom.
