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

Creating a positive learning environment is crucial for the mental health and well-being of our amazing and motivated young students. Classroom decor plays a significant role in this aspect by fostering a visually appealing and comfortable space that promotes concentration and relaxation when necessary. Educational word games serve as engaging tools to enhance cognitive skills, stimulate creativity, and encourage teamwork, providing a sense of accomplishment and boosting self-esteem. Together, all these materials contribute to a positive learning environment, supporting the mental health of our students and fostering their overall well-being, ultimately leading them to a successful academic journey!

Ms. Osman Intermediate School 93 Ridgewood Grades 6-8
