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 canvas is used as an end-of-year project. The scholars create vision boards for their memory folders. This helps them to reflect on their year in fifth grade whilst imagining their futures! The pens help the children to stay organized as they compare and contrast their text as they read. They are also able to use the pens to add math notes.

These high-quality items help the scholars to feel quite important as they reflect on their year, create visions for their future, and take notes throughout the school year.
