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

We are a small school, but we pack a big punch! We are a International Baccalaureate school. Our students are open-minded, inquiring, thinking, risk-taker global minded citizens. How do you do this you might ask? We promote independence. Through our small groups and inquiry projects.

Teaching, learning and gaining Independence is HUGE in the early grades.

We want our students to work on their ideas and opinions on their own, These materials that we are asking for; pencil boxes, pencil grips, easy squeeze scissors and erasers will help our students build confidence and independence by having their materials near them an ready to work.
