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

Coming back to school in September is so exciting for students and staff. Students should be welcomed by a colorful, welcoming, and fun-looking school and classroom.

Welcoming students back into a warm and inviting classroom can set a positive tone for the whole school year.

The decorative materials and the second-grade t-shirts would help the teachers create a space where all students feel welcomed.

All kids love receiving gifts, so the gifts would make them happy and feel safe.

The goal of this project is to help students relieve stress on the first day of school, work on social-emotional learning, and enjoy school.

Ms. Perez PS/IS 210 21st Century Academy Grades PreK-2
