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

For this project, I am seeking more art supplies such as colorful paper, glue sticks, sidewalk chalk, and a new paper cutter (our current paper cutter has unfortunately reached its demise). We like to use the paper for colorful posters and signs around the classroom.

It's nice to walk into a vibrant space.

We need new glue sticks for our interactive notebooks. I am really excited for us to use the sidewalk chalk to create messages (once the rain clears) of affirmation for our peers around campus. We are hoping to spread our colorful space to other classrooms.
