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

My students have worked so hard this year: they persevered through difficult testing, another year of Covid rules and regulations, and played "catch up" from learning that Covid has stalled in previous years. They have never experienced a "normal year," and never had a field trip experience.

I would like to give them a "Day in Hawaii" to celebrate their success, their growth, and their hard work as they have persevered through challenges with nothing but positivity all year.

This project will transform our classroom into Hawaii, and allow them to end our year with the best memories. This experience will also give them some learning about the history of Hawaii, allow them to explore popular tourist sites, and participate in some Hawaiian customs and traditions.

They will get to take home their "luggage" and accessories with them on the last day of school as a well earned student gift. Their gift will include the drawstring bag, a water bottle decorated with Hawaiian stickers, a bookmark for the books I have purchased for them, and some other fun items for them to enjoy over their summer break! I will also be taking some fun pictures under the balloon arch of the kids to send to their parents as a "Thank you" for letting me teach their students this year.
