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

My students will be creating unique and meaningful project presentations by attaching hands-on materials to both white and black cardstock. This hands-on approach will allow them to engage creatively while expressing their ideas. Once the projects are complete, I plan to laminate each one to preserve their work and display them proudly on the classroom wall (glued) for everyone to admire. This display will serve as a visual celebration of their efforts. Afterward, the students will be able to take their laminated projects home as a cherished keepsake, reminding them of their special experiences during pre-kindergarten.
