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

Students need the lap desk to help them do their work in small groups on the carpet. Students need supplies to do their work. Students use a lot during the year so they are always needing things to help them out. They need pencils to write, glue for projects and markers to color with. The chart paper will help them have charts in the classroom for them to refer to. Folders will help them keep their work organizer in one place. It will help them to know what they are working on.
