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 9th and 10th graders, they are curious, ready to explore and eager to learn. They’re always ready to explore something new and love hands-on materials in the classroom, this is why the copy paper became the most essential item.

Having paper, will help the entire class with their work as we print every single project for each student.

My classroom also is in need of a laminating machine and the pouches, these items will help us display the project work done.

The color paper, will help my students to be creative while completing their projects.

My students are special every single one of them, they are the reason why I like to keep the classroom as welcoming as possible, and the air freshener will allow me to do that. All of the items requested will help our class to go forward.
