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

Adding a splash of color to a room can really brighten up a place and that's exactly what I'd like to do in my classroom! By having a variety of colored and patterned bulletin board borders, I will be be able to colorfully display my students' work. The Astrobrights colored paper will be used to make signs and letters on our Cricut machine to title our bulletin boards. The ink cartridges will be used to print color displays and anchor charts for the students, which will add a colorful visual component. The sharpie markers will be used for charts and posters that will be made in class to add a variety of colors to our displays. Thank you in advance for your support to our classroom project!
