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

Our class is comprised of twenty, excited, third grade inquirers who are jubilant to embark upon this new learning year. We want to support and nourish their new classroom experience. They enjoy flexible learning options that are provided in the workshop curriculum which require a highly organized environment.

My students are caring, gregarious, open minded, balanced, and reflective.

They are eager to begin the new year and thrilled to explore new learning options in the classroom. They possess an inspirational attitude towards learning. Their love of learning is visible everyday and is very inspirational!

My Project

To start out our year on the right foot, we will need a fresh start and all new supplies! In addition to keeping our classroom clean and germ-free, I would like for all of my students to have brand new writing tools, new folders to carry their things to and from school, and new baskets and supplies for the classroom. This project will bring fresh pencils, pens, glue, folders, paper, notebooks, and much more! These supplies are items that will be used each day across all subject areas.

I believe that a fresh start every year allows children to start on the right foot and shows the children how important it is to be set up for success in their classroom.

Whether it is new cleaning supplies, new crayons, or new folders, children will see their worth and the importance of starting off on the right foot.
