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 4th grade class is a vibrant and enthusiastic group of second language learners who are eager to explore and understand the world around them. We strive to provide them with the best educational experiences, fostering their creativity, critical thinking, and love for learning.

This year, we have several projects and activities planned such as STEAM Hurricane Houses, Wild About Writing and Superhero Work.

These projects are designed to inspire our students' to reach their full potential. Students will use their headphones to research hurricanes and collect information to design and make hurricane proof houses. Chart paper will be readily available for students to take notes, and display them around our class.

Your generous donation would greatly impact our students' educational experience and help us create a stimulating and supportive learning environment. We are committed to ensuring our students receive high quality education and with your help we can provide them with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed. Together, we can make a significant difference in the lives of our young learners.
