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

Help us start off the school year strong with plenty positive affirmation visuals for our students!

It is so important to make sure students are comfortable in the gymnasium and with their peers in class.

With these positive affirmation cards and posters we will be able to reinforce the importance of being a good human and being in a safe welcoming learning environment.

We will also be using the soft yarn balls for various activities including throwing and catching games and the fitness dice for so many different warm-up activities.

We appreciate your support in welcoming back our students at PS 129!
