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 project starts with social skills. Children will become informed and active participants in a movement that matters to the community.

We have an HRL model in our classroom where we administer lessons that have an impact on our community.

We will make posters and banners to display. We will research the black lives movement and develop the best way to present it to other classes. I would love the children to be proud of this project and the meaning of it

Living in a poor neighborhood and going to school there too, makes children aware of many individual traumas. The Black Lives Matter project will allow them to be informed and educated. The involvement in the black lives movement project is one of awareness and enlightenment. The paper will help us create slogans and banners.

The pencils and materials will create posters and I am signs! The social skills board game will get them acquainted with each other. Most are Latinos and African American and Muslim. This is an entryway into their lives.
