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

Please give my students the basic simple supplies of tissues and cleaning products to maintain a clean and safe learning environment. Supplies such as tissue and hand soup will assure that students have access to items when needed as needed through the day to stay healthy. Maintaining a clean and healthy classroom is always a goal, it helps my students feel at home and comfortable while acquiring a second language. Essential oils help sooth the nerves as newcomer transitions throughout the day.

Student will use all supplies to have clean start to our school year.
