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 have expressed major interest in "Elf on a Shelf" they do not have their own elf at home so I would like to create this special experience within my classroom for the last few weeks of school before Christmas.

This magical elf will help bring Christmas spirit to my classroom for my students this holiday season as well as promote positive behaviors.

The other books included in this project are to be given as fun brain exercises to challenge my students during their "choice time". Choice time is free time students have to choose an activity to complete if they finish any assignment early.
