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

My students have been working so hard! They are excited about the school year and what's to come! We are hoping to continue our love of learning with STEM materials. These activities will help students build their creativity while working through STEM activities.

The novel Holes will help continue developing my students' love for reading.

This book allows us to understand an entire plot and helps students invest in these characters. The basketballs and soccer balls let our students work together and create friendships. The graphic novels will replenish our library and help it come alive!

Ms. Alvarado Longfellow Elementary School Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
