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 chose the beanbags for the reading area to give my students comfort and they will not want to stop reading their books. In the work area with me, they would have some beautiful and colorful stools. In this space, they will have the opportunity to create and express them self through different activities.

These supplies will provide my students with a harmonious and warm space, where they always want to be.

My students need to have their materials identified, as well as their cubbies. That's why I chose the Cricut and thermal laminating machine, excellent options to do many activities. I hope to receive your support to make this a reality. Thank you!!
