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

Do you remember when your friends sang Happy Birthday to you when you were in school? Celebrating birthdays in the classroom is a tradition for many teachers.

Students love to be recognized and feel special on their birthday.

Please help me make my students feel extra special on their birthday. Each student will receive a goodie bag filled with a pen, pencil, lollipop, Play-Doh, emoji keychain, pop rocks, popcorn, bubbles and a crazy straw.

Celebrating birthdays in the classroom is fun, boosts self-esteem, and can help create a family atmosphere in our classroom.
