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

We have an energetic and curious students in our classes. They have a great imagination and at this age in middle school are always asking questions of who did what and why events took place.

This project will allow them to read about individuals from past and present and provide leveled texts and supplies to complete a class collage that will include social emotional learning, written expressions as they share their thoughts, art expression in the form of drawings and visuals and provide collaborations with sharing their own experiences as they celebrate our class as a multi-cultural community.
