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

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, pencils for the year, and supplies for the classroom. This project will bring fresh lined paper, pens, highlighters, folders, crayons, labels, notebooks, and much more! These supplies are items that will be used each day across all subject areas.

Ms. Sobek Brooklyn Arbor Elementary School 414 Grades 3-5
