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

Middle school is almost always about self-expression and connection. My students have shown me time and again how much they crave feeling like they belong. With this in mind, I intentionally carve out time during the semester to have activity days where I put out different stations, like coloring pages, board games, bracelet making stations, and even personalized button-making activities to help my students positively engage with each other and have time to bond by connecting with friends doing something they enjoy!

Having the supplies for arts and crafts activities in the classroom readily available helps teachers and students have easy access to materials that can help them connect with each other in fun and engaging ways.

The supplies in this project will help to replenish my classroom set of beads for bracelets, as well as the button making sets. The colors and markers included in this project will help to replenish my classroom sets, which I have been using for over three years.
