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 believe classroom decorations help the students to get inspired to learn. Bright, colorful, and relevant decorations can make the classroom, and they can build confidence and a sense of ownership. When they love the environment, they feel comfortable and relax their well-being.

The goal of this project is to acquire materials, such as borders and posters, to transform the classroom into a more inviting and engaging environment, encouraging students to become more interested in learning.

As they enter the beautiful, organized classroom, they will feel special since someone has prepared the learning environment for them, creating a welcoming space that helps reduce anxiety and increases student comfort.
