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

Our school celebrates diversity. Our district encourages everyone to accept people as they are.

All people are welcome, all cultures, all genders, all beliefs, all religions, all orientations, and all ages.

This project includes colorful posters that encourages people to accept people as they are. This project also includes books, drinks, veggie chips, Mentos candy, and gum.

The Nepnuser Poster and Love Needs No Words Banner in this project will be visual backdrops that encourage people to accept diversity. My students are diverse and they celebrate different traditions. This poster will inspire students to celebrate diversity and cultural traditions. The books in this project showcase historical figures that include Cesar Chavez, Ellen Ochoa and Frida Khalo. These books will inspire students and spring board class conversations about diversity. Giving students the opportunity to see these posters and talk about the importance of accepting others will be great!

Giving gifts is a cultural tradition celebrated in many parts of the world. Having a selection of snacks, sweets and drinks that students can use to make a gift will be wonderful. Students will take plastic bags that we already have in class and make a treat bag to give to another person.

Students will be encouraged to decide the amount of snacks to put in their treat bag, being mindful of the other students making a gift. Students will use post it notes we already have in class to write a caring message for the person to whom they will give the treat bag.

It will be exciting to hear students having conversations about accepting others and also talk about the value of giving gifts. It will be wonderful for students to talk about celebrating diversity and valuing people. Students will take the treat bag and experience the joy of gift giving.
