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 Students

“Nothing is impossible. The word itself says I'M POSSIBLE” Audrey Hepburn.

My students are amazing, enthusiastic and diverse 3rd graders who truly enjoy learning.

They are hard working, intelligent, passionate, and inquisitive students full of energy ready to take in what the world has to offer.

My students love to learn about all subjects, research about current events both in their community and worldwide, and challenge themselves in math, science and language arts. The best part is that they do it in TWO LANGUAGES! They learn all subject areas in both English and Spanish.

My Project

Our poor children have been stuck at home, in front of a computer, and without social interaction for over a year! Now that they finally will have the opportunity to go back to school, they will want to play and have a lot of fun with their school friends. However, they will still need to be safe and social distance.

Jumping rope is a great way to release energy!

If every student has his/her own jump rope, they will be able to have fun, get some exercise, and still keep a safe distance.
