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

These materials will be used for our beginning of year projects on identity and community. The paints will be used to make identity portraits. The "multicultural" set offers several shades which students use to mix their authentic skin and hair colors. The book "Hey, Wall" will be used for a project on community activism. We also need classroom essentials like a new number line to 100, a map of the United States and a pocket chart. Our classroom lacks a sink so the spigot is for students to refill their water bottles from a water jug.
