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

As our school prepares for a cultural celebration of its students and teachers, I thought it would be ideal for my students to each obtain the flag of the country where their family roots originate. Using 3 feet by 5 feet flags will allow the students to place their flags on flag sticks to wave during our school-wide cultural celebration.

Obtaining the flags of the countries where the students' families come from will enable them to learn more about their flags and what the symbols represent, along with providing a sense of pride in their cultural roots.

In addition, the flags can be attached to their desks for the remainder of the year and finally brought home at the close of the school year.
