Celebrating 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 Students
Creating a welcoming environment after being out of school is my goal. When Covid hit all the rooms in our school were stripped of the bulletin boards and decorations that made our building a pleasing place to be. It is my goal to help the students feel at home here at school.
My Project
The materials that you will purchase for my classroom will benefit not only this years students but also some years in the future. I plan to create bulletin boards and laminate them to preserve them. I plan to help my students feel more welcomed in their environment at school. The students can also be a part of creating the pieces of art that will be displayed so they will also feel pride in their work. I hope you will consider funding this project so we can work on this together.
