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

These items will help teach students about the importance of being kind. Books, Games and resources will be utilized to show the effects of being a bully/being bullied and how we can change our behavior together to make school a fun learning experience. Aside from the curriculum taught in the classroom, these tools will help me teach student to work together and make the classroom a safe community filled with respect for one another. All students are unique and wonderful in their own way. Thank you for your consideration in donating for this important cause.
