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

These items will help to create a calm, organized, inviting, and inspirational work space for students. Students will be able to remain organized with group work in colored bins and access materials in file folders.

Lighting will help create a soft, calm atmosphere.

The mirror will be used for students to make positive affirmations. There will be words around the mirror and they will be able to say them aloud to themselves to build self esteem and confidence. Posters will also allow students to build growth mindset and positive self talk.
