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

These decorations and prizes will be used to give my students a great graduation and an End Of the Year celebration! My students have worked extremely hard this school year and I want them to know that I am so proud of them with this celebration. Every single one of my students has worked hard and they have accomplished most or ALL of their pre-k goals!

Since they have been great pre-k scholars all year long, I would love to give them something very special like this luau celebration that I know they will LOVE, after such a hard-working school year.

These bags will be used to make them Hawaiian prize bags, the decorations will be used to decorate our backdrop/classroom/graduation ceremony, the leis will be used on our graduation day, the photo props will be used on our graduation day and end of year celebrations as props for our pictures!!

They are going to be so excited when I tell them that they will be able to celebrate all of their accomplishments in Pre-K. I'm very excited to be able to give my hard working students this amazing graduation and celebration because they truly deserve it and so much more!
