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

Even though we are approaching the end of the school year, we are still learning and my students are still going through supplies. We are getting into the part of the school year where we are reviewing and preparing for testing which means making anchor charts, lots of strategy practice, and making review games.

When I have the materials needed readily available, it makes for seamless preparation, and makes the day go smoother.

The pencils, post-it note easel pads, and card stock paper are going to be exactly what I need to get these activities going. The snacks will be a hit for their end of school year bash too! It may even be enough to take me into the next school year!
