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

Students are eager to try new things and find their niche. My students are 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders who love to explore. The students have chosen clubs that they would like to experience and learn more about.

Through art, culinary, and origami my students will learn the basics of each activity and hopefully foster a love for it.

With traveling being as difficult as it is, we are looking for all opportunities to bring learning to life inside of the classroom. Please help my students explore the activities they have an interest in.
