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

Each year, my school plans elaborate classroom transformations to keep our students interested and engaged in test prep to help prepare for end of the year testing. Often, teachers are left to buy these supplies on their own!

Glow day is a great way to disguise boring test prep as fun and exciting adventure!

I will use these black lights and black light flashlights in order to host glow days around school campus to keep the students always guessing what fun things are around the corner.

During glow day, we carefully plan academic activities with neon papers, highlighters for extra glow, and games to keep the students entertained.
