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

Help me provide students with the tools to make mini-posters for each other. We are in our last two months of school, and I would like to provide students with a mini poster to add their favorite memories with each other.

The TPT card will allow me to print positive posters that could be individualized for students to keep them motivated at school during the summer months.

The combination of colorful mini posters with doodles and positive messages from each other can uplift students and create long-lasting memories. Their ministers will be laminated and kept at school for the remainder of the school year, and they will be taking them home in their last week of school.

Each poster will highlight their uniqueness and their strengths during this school year.

Colored pencil sharpener will keep our colored pencils sharp, markers will ensure the mini poster won't fade over time, and play-dough will keep students focused in class during instruction. Your support for this project will make a positive and long-lasting impression. Thank you for supporting my students' well-being.
