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

We would love more eye pleasing and soothing kindergarten classroom wall hangings with letter support. The alphabet letters will help support the children in forming their letters for sure! The positive vibes will be read by our reading students to inspire them along the day. Please consider helping us achieve and maintain a relaxing and calm vibe filled with positive affirmations.

Our classroom is a calm and inviting environment.

We would love to add some more positive vibes to it.

We love pastels colors and love, love, love learning! With these positive posters and letters of the alphabet it will add the perfect touch to a perfect calm learning environment.
