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 classrooms should be a place where children feel safe and welcomed. What better way to do that than to have a room decor of greenery. The garden like bulletin board paper, the boarders, the class schedule, the classroom jobs, and the positive welcoming posters will help the children feel tranquil in our very own garden.

A calming environment will help the students to learn, stay focus and feel like they are outdoor all at the same time.

The proper setup for a classroom is crucial to the development of the students. The surroundings should be a place of peace, harmony, fun and educational.
