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

My students are energetic and curious kids that are excited about learning! Our school is in a high poverty area of Chicago. Many students face challenging situations financially in their homes and they need all the support they can get!

All of my students are capable of great success this year!

I just need to channel their energy in the right direction and help keep them engaged. They are full of ideas and questions. They are great problem solvers and lovers of learning!

My Project

My students need all of these supplies to help them be creative with their learning this year. My kindergarteners need supplies like: markers, dry erase markers, and pencils to help them write stories and draw. They use Playdoh at centers to help them learn their letters and sight words. I will use the post-it paper and sentence strips to display important learning on the walls in the classrooms.

It is very important that my students get the binders and laminating pouches for their daily homework binders.

This way they will be able to keep their work organized and I can laminate important papers to keep handy for practice at home.
