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

Thank you for your donations! These supplies and materials will be used for my students in a Japanese Dual Language Program. With your donations, my students will have the opportunity to be more engaged in learning through many activities.

In a calligraphy lesson of writing a word in Japanese hiragana, students will use the supplies of calligraphy papers, brushes, ink, and rivers stones for weight for the paper, and a possible painting rock art project.

In an origami activity, students use origami paper to make an origami dog, folding origami arts for students, etc.

As for manipulatives for vocabulary building and improving language skills, students will explore Health Safety Theme Box and Building Language Lotto, Positional Words Resource Box.

My students will be happy to utilize these supplies and resources.

Thank you for your donations and support.
