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

All of my students enjoy being creative. They love to create crafts. The supplies that I have requested will help keep my students engaged during writing activities. These pens, markers, and pencils will benefit students during social emotional learning activities. They will be able to express their feelings, creativity, and ideas through arts and crafts projects. Students will also raise their self-confidence when given the opportunity to create what they desire. They enjoy sharing their projects by discussing what they created and the process of their creation. The students' confidence and self-esteem improves during these activities. They also improve their planning and organizational skills.
