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

Being a child in today's world is hard! Do you remember when the biggest thing you had to worry about as a child was what you planned on wearing to school? Boy have things changed. Kids nowadays have to worry about rigorous classroom standards, where their next meal is coming from, and the traumatic baggage that many of them carry to school. That is why I want to create a Zen and inviting classroom for all.

I am asking for nature-inspired decor to make our room warm and inviting.

What would be more fun than balancing our spirits while engaging in academics? It's a great way to balance our physical selves while learning! We all need a little inner balance!
