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

These supplies will help give my students everything they need to thrive in the classroom! My students are a highly creative, artistic group, and I want to encourage their creativity in our daily English lessons. Class sets of crayons and colored pencils to have for everyone will be an amazing asset to our classroom!

We are also in need of basic supplies such as pencils, Post-it notes, and loose leaf paper for everyday learning.

A large Post-it sticky easel pad would be used to create visual charts around the classroom that align with what we are learning in ELA.

Additionally, I have requested a classroom printer. Students love seeing their hard work displayed in our room and in the hallway, and having a color printer on hand at all times would help tremendously!
