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

My amazing students will soon be promoted to 1st grade. As a memory of all the new learning they did this year, I would like for each student to receive a book called “Be Brave Little One” which encourages them to be brave as they go on their journey of new learning.

The bears will be a graduation gift that they can cherish as they continue their journey of new learning, making friends, and becoming amazing human beings.

Our school is planning a big celebration that will celebrate their accomplishments. These small gifts will truly allow my students to stand tall and be brave in their next chapter.
