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

This project will be used inside as well as outside. Umbrellas, a patio sitting area, and umbrella stands will help us transform our space into a summer, vacation reading space with fun lighting and great seats!

Reimagining the classroom is how change the opinions of students.

Engaging reluctant learners and struggling readers is difficult. Bringing themes to the classroom and bring our classroom outside is the goal. Sitting under the umbrellas will be motivating and adorable while sipping their fancy waters with umbrellas &reading their novel studies. Help us continue to push the boundaries of education with fun, creative theme ideas.
