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 love seeing our classroom and hallway decorated. Next year our school theme is space. This is a new theme and I would love to be able to give my students some beautiful space decorations to look at. Using these planets and posters will make our classroom very interactive. I will use the better than paper to showcase my students artwork. This will encourage my students to participate and give them a sense of ownership. I would also like to store these materials in clear containers for upcoming school years!

These decorations can make the classroom an exciting and immerse learning environment and will boost my students engagement.
