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

This project is centered around nothing but fun!!! I wanted to give more choices while outside for recess and also for our fun Friday! Fun Friday takes place weekly and with more choices students more to look forward to!! I included all sorts of balls, cones, a bowling set, and even a pogo stick! I am super excited to see their reaction to all these items! I also included paintbrushes and paint. My students LOVE art!! They enjoy every opportunity they get to express themselves through art. This project would be a dream come true!

Mrs. James Mary Lynch Elementary School Grades PreK-2
