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

My students are amazing and love to come to school every day. Last two school years students faced many restrictions due to COVID. However, this year students are too excited because they are experiencing what is being in a "normal school setting". They can travel from classroom to classroom. Consequently, we know that COVID variants are still there, and viruses could be easily transferred. For this reason, we need cleaning items such as wipes, and tissues to keep our class clean and ready for all the students that come every day to the classroom. In addition, we need to be organized in our assignments and projects therefore storage boxes of all sizes help with that. Items will not be lost or misplaced. Lapboards are amazing for each student to create and show their responses to questions. As well as new measurement tools for the school year.
