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

The laminator would help the class for kids individually and for the classroom as a whole. Many times, when a project is given, they find pride in what they accomplished. I overhear them say to their friends that they wish they could keep it but know that it will be torn or mangled so prefer to leave it in the classroom or simply take a picture of it.

Aside from this, the laminator could help create and preserve activities for all classes and to be used for future school years.

Displays are also easier to be changed as needed without tearing. I will often buy calendars from previous years and use the information or pictures for the classroom to hang on the wall.
