1. Hispanic Heritage
Hispanic Heritage Month starts in September so we think this is the perfect back-to-school bulletin board idea. It would work especially well in an art class since it features famous Hispanic artist Frida Kahlo. Have each of your students create their own self-portrait to display as well.
