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

This year has been full of learning and challenges, but most importantly, it has been their first school experience for many of them! The school year is not over yet, but my students have worked so hard, and I would like to reward them with some incredible items for their culmination.

The students will be performing many poems and songs, receiving rewards for attendance, and much more.

For this reason, I am asking each student for beach balls, summer sunglasses, coloring books, crayons, and sidewalk chalk.

All items will be given to each student after our culminating ceremony. Their special reward for a job well done this school year will be. Ease, help me make this day one I will cherish and remember for years.
