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

I teach a collaborative classroom that has ten students with special needs and fourteen typical students, ages range from 3-5 years old. My students are curious, fun, and energetic!They enjoy learning through hands-on learning experiences. The caterpillars and butterfly cage will provide my students a memorable learning experience as they see and learn about the butterfly cycle.

Your donations will help my students learn through fun and hands on experiences.

My students enjoy getting their hands dirty by gluing, painting, cutting and tearing to create their very own art projects. Your donations will help my students enforce their critical and creative thinking. The storage containers will help our classroom to be more organized and students will be able to easily see the manipulatives inside.
