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

I plan to keep the kids busy while they are waiting on their parents in the office. There are times the kids have to wait a long while an they often get bored. That gives me the opportunity to have them entertained. We are in a school where we are always trying to find ways to help our students and where they also can take a little project home that they themselves made.

The office needs to be a place where the children can feel at ease and make them feel that they can relax while working on their project.

I want to give the office a fresh look with organizers so the kids can easily take what they need to work on their project of choice.
