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

Sometimes the littlest changes make such a huge difference! A little change like changing the paper color from white to color can spark such engagement! My students on a daily basis are engaged in hands-on centers and independent learning opportunities, finding ways to spruce up these times are so important to me. One quick and easy way is to add a little color! The bright and inviting paper colors would be used to help print centers, independent work, homework, group projects, etc. This quick and easy update would bring a new element to some of our daily activities. Help us add pops of color to our classroom.
