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

Every year I try to create a beautiful classroom for my third grade students. I want them to come to school excited to learn. One way I do this is by having the classroom ready with a beautiful theme. Our school was built in the 1960’s, so it really takes a lot to make it look appealing. The borders, motivational posters, classroom jobs, and welcome sign will brighten my classroom. The dry erase roll of paper will be used to cover brown chalkboards that are not usually used so the kids can write and learn. With the supplies I am asking for I will be able to decorate and have a classroom the kids can call their own. They can be proud to be in my class. It will make learning fun! Thank you for considering my project.
