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

Students gravitate towards classrooms that have a comforting, welcoming, and warm environment. The colors of the bulletin boards may not seem like much but help create the mood of the environment students are learning in.

Help students explore, dream, and discover with vibrant colors in their classroom!

The fadeless bulletin board paper is great because it is vibrant, does not tear easily, and doesn't fade so it will keep its color all year long. The butterfly borders are welcoming as well and the owl borders are connecting to school's mascot in turn connecting to the community. The mailbox will help keep the classroom organized. The growth mindset posters will create a positive, inviting environment for students. Please help give our students a safe and nurturing environment to grow and learn!
