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

To whom it may concern, thank you for taking the time to read and look over this project! My name is Amir Orendain and I am a 5th grade teacher with 29 students. I have implemented a space themed classroom this year and I would love to show my students a different environment in learning! This is not just projecting something about space (which they love!), but I would love to offer flexible seating while they learn in this environment. Thank you for reading this and appreciate any support given to my amazing 5th grade rockstars!
