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

School supplies are an essential part of any classroom and student learning. As I prepare for this new school year, I would like to support my students' everyday learning with new and fresh school supplies that they need to succeed.

As a high school English teacher, it is important to me that students are well equipped with tools like highlighters, markers, pencils, pens, etc that will help them engage with powerful texts and bring their own brilliance to life!

Having these school supplies will greatly support student learning and success.
