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

The majority of my students come from a low socio economic area. Many of my students love coming to school, where they feel safe. Our neighborhood isn’t always a safe environment.

I would like to give them a bright learning classroom.

I’m changing grade levels this year, so I want to start this year off with a bright and colorful classroom, that will reflect the growing and learning that will take place.

I have chosen beautiful flower rugs and bright color borders and flower pillows for our reading area.

Everything I have picked out, would just make this new school year brighter and empathize the theme of growing and learning. I hope you can help out.
