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

The crayons will be used to color. The students will have a variety of colors that they can choose from, to color the skin of their drawings, pictures, etc. The diversity blocks will be used during small groups to teach students about different cultures.

My students are very young children, therefore, they require simple, easy, and fun ways to learn about other cultures and diversity.

Therefore, I added dolls to expose children to different ethnicities. The books will be read out loud during whole group instruction and will be placed in the classroom library.

My students are all special because they each have different learning needs.
