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

Please help me decorate my classroom for the 2023-2024 school year. Students need to be inspired and motivated each and every day. Our school theme this year is superheroes. This theme will not only motivate students but teachers as well.

It is my responsibility to make all students feel happy, excited and motivated to learn in our classroom.

My students will love walking in the first day of school and see all the superhero decorations and even superhero capes and masks. It is about time for these students to actually start enjoying some normalcy especially after everything they all went through during COVID. Please help my students achieve academic excellence with a motivating classroom.
