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

The use of these basic material will help students complete their assignements and particpate in group activities. We focus on project based activities that will help students learn and understand the content. The students will be using these color pencils, paper, and posters to create materials as they learn about history and geography. They will be able to do presentations and showcase their undertanding.

The students who will benefit from these supplies are students who recently moved to the United States.

They are learning English along side general history and geography. With your help students will be able to focus on the content instead of the materials needed to complete the assignments.
