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

Our school is a Title I school with a heavy newcomer Hispanic population. Many of the students are English language learners. Creating a welcoming and supportive environment for immigrant students, especially those recently arriving in the country, is essential. The books and board games on Hispanic culture you're donating will give students the emotional support they need to succeed academically. The Hispanic Heritage Month table clothes and Spanish speaking countries flags you're donating will be used to decorate the classroom to celebrate our students and their culture. Sitting around the table and eating together the variety snacks will give scholars a sense of belonging. So they can spend more time having fun and relaxing with each other. These fun and engaging activities will help our newcomers feel welcomed and accepted. This way they can be both mentally and physically happy so that can focus on learning.
