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 students have worked so hard this school year and have made so much academic progress. With summer break right around the corner, I'd love to plan an end of the year picnic for them to celebrate all they've accomplished this year in third grade!

The items I requested are old fashioned picnic games that I think my students would really enjoy at their summer picnic.

I have included a ring toss game, potato sack race kits, water balloons, and of course chalk amongst other games and activities to make it an extra special and memorable event. My students deserve it after all their hard work this year. Thank you for helping me create this special and well-deserved memory for them!
