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 Civics For All, second grade students learn about different communities. WE have spent many weeks in this unit and now is the time to finish the student with creating their community.

Allowing my students to create their own community will mean that they will care more about it.

They will be able to create the community they see and want to change for the better. The second grade is very excited about this end of unit project.

We need all the help we cant get. With the cardboard each student will be able to create their own community and own ideas, the color pencils and crayons will help them color in the streets and trees they see in their community. By having glue, paint and paint brushes the students will be able to paint their buildings and streets. The students need all the help they need, they want to showcase their work to our school community. Thank you for all of your support.
