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

I love how curious, creative, and enthusiastic my students are when given the chance to express themselves. They light up when they're able to bring their ideas to life through hands-on projects, especially when working together. With illustration boards, they'll be able to create strong, polished visual displays for class presentations. Anchor charts will help them reinforce key concepts in a collaborative and interactive way. Tissue paper will allow them to explore colors, textures, and design in fun, imaginative ways. These resources will foster creativity, boost confidence, and make learning more meaningful all year long.
