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 am requesting a variety of essential supplies for my class. My students will be able to effectively use these essential classroom materials to enhance their learning experience. For example, the dividers requested will help students stay focus during testing time, allowing them to concentrate in their own exams. Moreover, the erasers will help students to erase those mistakes to continue working on their assignments. The folders requested will help students to keep their worksheets organized.

All of the materials requested will help students stay prepare and engage.

Also, the TPT gift card I requested will help me purchase curricular resources for reading and math that will help my students to keep on achieving their educational goals.
