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 Students

My kiddos live in a high-poverty area. My school is a Title I school. Every day is a struggle for some, more than others. Giving them the opportunity to do hands-on center rotations lets our tactile learners excel. My incoming Littles are at different learning levels and need as much guidance as possible because they were not able to finish out the school year in class.

Please help my Littles get materials that will help them adjust to face to face again.

I want to give my students learning materials due to the COVID-19 pandemic. My students will have to transition from meeting online and working independently this school year to face-to-face learning.

My Project

Getting ready for all of my students to come back in person instead of virtual is a big step for many of my Littles. I want them to have everything and anything they might need to make this year great!

Basic school supplies are a must!

Pencils just their size will be a great option for my Littles. Mini journals and fun colored pens make writing fun instead of a chore. Having their very own book bags that they can decorate will be nice too! Also having their own Kleenex boxes will be necessary during this time of COVID.
