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

Since students in the community where I work do not get ample opportunities to express their creativity, whether it is due to lack of funding or because they are unable to go far from home, I want to ensure that my students have the opportunity to discover a creative side of them that they never realized was there. I want them to believe that they can create anything in their imagination and believe that their dreams may come true Using a 3-D printer will help bring their imagination to life and having interactive books will help to spark that love of reading, learning, and creativity. I can not wait to see what they come up with!
