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

My students are unique! Let's help them use paper cut outs that look like them! Included are art supplies with family cutouts and people cut outs shaded to look like my students.

When your comfortable in your skin, you shine brightest.

Help my students get supplies that look like them in order to create accurate "All About Me" pictures. The family cutouts will help to complete our project. My students can the different shades to share what they love the most about their families.

Isn't it fun to be creative? These supplies will bring an emphasis to the importance of family and being connected in school.
