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

Students will actively participate and promote communication and creativity. The effects of having items and a place where students can work together are so valuable. Students will use multicultural pencils, crayons, and supplies to create, color, draw, and write. Being able to express in these ways is a direct correlation with relaxing and calming.

As students enjoy these activities, they become more open to others and feel comfortable with their peers.

In this manner, the students become closer and feel more accepted. The enjoyment this will bring will also have a deep impact.
