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'm planning to create a beautifull space for students to learn. I'm using the paper roll to make a Work Wall where students can see their jobs and be proud of them. I'm using a frame to separete the spaces for every student and making the posting of the job easy to change.

I want to motivate them to try their best every time they work.

I will be helping them in the process of learning and improving in a way they can see it for themselves.

I will make the wall colorfull and the class a happy and safe place.
