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

Help me create an environment where learning is exciting, engaging and accessible to every student. I would like to bring the gift of technology, computational thinking and coding to the curious minds of our K-5 students. Through the use of Osmo games, books, Legos and other screen-free hands-on activities I can help cultivate the minds of our students.

With the use of these games and materials, I can create a learning experience that will be educational, fun and rewarding for all students.

Help me enhance my students' overall school experience.
