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 are unique and exceptional children! My students have a variety of handicapping conditions that make them unique. My students love to create by cutting and gluing colorful paper. They are all very excited for Christmas and I would like to provide them with the materials they need to be creative. Students will be engaging in making Christmas trees , bells, winter scenes and other holiday art work. I will be able to laminate their work so their parents will be able to store them. I am excited to provide my students with this opportunity.
