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

Each year, students look forward to the start of the school year. What's even more exciting are the supplies that are passed out during the first week of school. They look forward to the new pencils and erasers that will be theirs to have and use. Amazing how exciting that is for them! Now imagine how thrilled they will be when they each get a dry erase board and markers, binders to organize their assignments, and their very own pair of scissors! All while being surrounded by colorful growth mindset posters!
