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

Looking forward to a new school year with new school supplies is always exciting. Items such as a brand new sharpened pencil, crayons, scissors, and glue are the basic staples of a school supply list.

Knowing that all of my students will have supplies at the start of the year is so important.

It relieves the stress many parents have that are unable to get everything my kids will need to start the year. Pencils, erasers, and crayons, and glue are a daily must for journal writing and small group centers.
