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

The materials in this project will help us prepare for upcoming learning projects. We will use the art materials to create Native American artifacts, endangered animals' habitats, and small crafts that accompany our reading stories. To make it colorful, we will be using the paint and crayons!

We will use some of these materials to help our kids feel important and special.

Kids' birthdays will be celebrated and students will know that they matter.

The furniture that we need will replace the broken chairs from last year. Unfortunately our room isn't large enough to use the chairs we already have for our horseshoe table, so these new, smaller chairs will be the perfect solution!

Lastly, some materials will be used to keep our classroom safe and clean. With unpredictable conditions, we need to be prepared for illnesses and viruses that may occur in our large classroom.
