Tarps as Bulletin Boards

Help me give my students a place to display their work. My students do not have access to bulletin boards so we will use tarps, tape, and borders to make this possible!

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

I work with students with exceptional needs at high school. My classroom has seen some better days. My students need a place to have their awesome work up for display around the classroom. I am trying to beautify my students' learning environment by using tarps in lieu of the bulletin boards that we do not have to showcase their work. My students will be motivated to see that the work they created will be up for display. Students will be able to see positive examples of finish products done by each other!
