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

The students in my classroom will get to embark on many creative adventures and projects this year, from creating posters about the landscapes of Texas to lapbooks to help them keep track of their notes. These supplies will help them to get to be as creative as they want to be while showing me they understand the information they have been taught. They will be able to use the colors to show different shades in landscapes, and the paper to put it on. The students will be creating maps, posters, and 3D models to show their comprehension of Texas landscapes, and the people who originally roamed them.
