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 Students

The purpose of this project is to celebrate my students who are moving on to middle school. I want to provide them with the necessary tools to use while we finish the semester and have a productive summer. They won't have the normal fanfare to celebrate this milestone transition to middle school.

My Project

My students are wonderful bright individuals who are moving on to middle school. I want to give them the necessary tools to finish the semester and have a productive summer. Some are basic supplies such as snacks and pencils. A journal to document our current Covid-19 adventure and stickers to plan a new adventure.

A send off with stickers, snacks, highlighters, journals, pencils, and even a gift bag.

I want to hand-deliver care packages. My 5th graders won't get the normal fanfare celebration as they move on to middle school. Help me bring smiles to my hardworking students.
