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

Our classroom is next to the playground. The hot sun heats up the play yard and the heat come into our room. A fan would help create a cooler environment for the students to learn.

Also, we need to stay hydrated while we learn.

Most classrooms don’t have a water fountain in them. So, it would be amazing if we could have our own water bottles, that we can fill up and drink water, so we can continue to learn without leaving the classroom.

Thank you for helping us to stay cool and hydrated while we learn.

Mrs. Abbate PS 8 Issac Varian Grades PreK-2
