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

This is a Title I school within a low socio-economic area. The students I teach come from nothing so appreciate everything. These students are special in their own way. Given their home situations it is a miracle they step through that door every day. So I want to make the most out of their day and spread their horizon beyond these classrooms walls and more.

The project I'm proposing is scale drawings of National Monuments using LEGO bricks.

Scale drawings are a middle school standard that we have few resources for. I want to take this standard and create an engaging project for the students. This will allow the students to not only enjoy learning the new content but also learn history and maybe be inspired for future travels. The ultimate goal is to engage and inspire the students while they are learning.
