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

This project is like chicken noodle soup--it includes lots of small, common ingredients, but when put all together it has a powerful effect.

Items like bulletin board decor, storage containers, new crayons and more will help re-energize students and freshen up different zones within the classroom.

The tennis balls will replace the DIY project I did this summer to fit all my chairs with donated tennis balls to make them easier for students to slide. Other items in this project will be used for indoor recess now that winter has officially set in.

Ms. Simpson-Luna Fleetwood Elementary School Grades PreK-2

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
