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

I would like to maximize the amount of time that my students are in the classroom. In order to do this, having things like lip balm and lotion on hand will keep them in the classroom instead of having to send them to the office. So much time is wasted and students are more likely to get off track if they leave the classroom more than what is necessary.

Help me supply my students with the basic things they need to focus on instruction and stay in the classroom.

Teaching students to be responsible with these items will also help them develop life skills.
