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

These classroom supplies will help make learning easier and support our students to have successful behavior and academic growth. These tangible rewards help our students make a connection between their positive behavior and success in the classroom.

The laminating paper helps to keeo our classroom materials looking fresh and lasting throughout the year.

Binders help to keep students' work organized and teach them how to manage their own belongings.

With your support, our students will be able to use these materials to help them grow academically and make learning fun!
