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 the 2023-2024 school year off right, I am requesting some classroom basics. The products I have selected will lead students in the direction of a great school year. The mini refrigerator is convenient and functional. It will help me store fresh, healthy snacks in the classroom. The cordless glue gun is great because it ready to use in a moment and it helps with our in class projects. The cardstock paper will help in creating presentations collaboratively. Dry erase markers are indispensable tools that facilitate interactive learning and collaborative work.

The ink is necessary for our printer to improve the students' learning comprehension and ability to focus.

Water bottle stickers or incentives serve as positive reinforcements for our students' healthy hydration habits. The push pin wooden clips are essential for holding and displaying student work on the bulletin board. Plastic folders are a effective because they keep the essential information organized in one easy place and because they are plastic, they will last all school year. The glue sticks are an everyday used item for gluing resources onto interactive notebooks. The happy birthday pencils will serve as small rewards to celebrate my students' birthdays.
