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

Christmas is probably our favorite season of the year. These items selected will help us create the student's best first school Christmas Ever. The stockings will be for each of the students along with the Christmas favors, they will be hung in our bulletin board. The students will create their own Santa with the stickers selected. This too will help their fine motor skills that are hard at work at this age. The gift bags and tissue paper will be used to wrap their Christmas gift that we will have for them!
