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

The end of the school year is quickly approaching. Our kindergarten students have persevered and have made abundant strides. To celebrate all of their hard work and individual, as well as group accomplishments, we want to host a classroom field day/picnic.

One way for us to show unity within all of the kindergarten classrooms during our field day/picnic will be to have each student create their very own tie-dye classroom shirt.

This will be a way for each student to showcase their creativity. After the students tie-dye their shirts, we will personalize each shirt using vinyl specifically for t-shirts.

All of the kindergarten students will wear their special shirts during our field day/picnic while taking part in fun outdoor games and gross motor activities, such as, potato sack races, relay races, jumping rope, blowing bubbles, drawing with chalk, and much more. This will be a memorable last day for our students. We appreciate your support with this project.
