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

A brand new school year is an exciting time. Every year, I love welcoming my new students to our classroom and setting them up for success. When the new school year begins, I want to be able to provide my students with the materials that they will need to learn and grow as individuals.

I am requesting school supplies that will help me welcome my new students on that first day back to school.

I just know that they will love receiving their own nameplates with their names written, math notebooks, folders to keep each subject organized, and a whiteboard with marker to help them show their thinking. These supplies will help create a welcoming environment and set them up for a fun-filled year of learning.
