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

Decorated walls with suitable pictures, alphabets, numbers, etc., have a good influence on learners. Classroom decorating has a major influence on students and can be a game changer for students who have visual and sensory needs. They feel more excited and take an interest in their studies.

It is said that students learn quickly from images and pictures.

When children feel secure in their environment, they’re able to fully engage with their surroundings. Curiosity, openness, and risk-taking are all necessary for learning. So is stimulation from people and the surrounding environment. That’s why having appropriate classroom decor is an important part of early childhood learning
