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

In our classroom students are welcomed every morning and get to participate in good morning choices. During this good morning choice time students can play on iPads, use Bay Blades, Cricut machine, Hot Wheels, Legos, and get creative with different art projects. During this time there is also a hair station for students who come without their hair done or just want to get theirs done!

These supplies will help students be prepared to learn without having to worry about hygiene or looks.

Being prepared for school and learning is a key element to being able to learn. Part of being prepared is the way you come to school and how you feel about yourself. With themes materials students will be able to feel great and be prepared to learn! Thank you for taking the time to learn more about our project!
