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

By playing with construction paper, students can develop their imagination, improve their fine motor skills, work on critical things skills, express their emotions, work on following directions, and improve social skills.

In addition to these benefits, through the use of construction paper children can create a craft which will spark joy and help to help develop creativity.

Whether it be creating a card for their parents, a picture for their teacher, or a work of art for their friends by using construction paper and their imagination students can make things that will be treasured by all.
