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

At our school, many of my students come from low- income families and may not have the chance to celebrate their birthdays at home. I want to make sure every child feels special on their big day. With birthday pencils, stickers, a crown, and a cheerful pencil holder, decorative areas with specialized messages, mini bubbles to get kids excited and slap bracelets to get them all feel special.

I'll create a simple but joyful birthday surprise.

An organizer will help keep everything ready to go. These small touches will help each student feel seen, valued and celebrated right here in our classroom. All of this helps me transform their special day into a celebrated moment.
