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

Having a well stocked closet filled with essential classroom supplies really helps students get the most from their school day. I love being able to provide them with color coded copies as well as key organizational tools such as pocket folders.

Although our learning sometimes occurs digitally in 2024, students often get excited about creating authentic paper projects using such supplies as rulers and copy paper.

It would benefit their learning if these items were readily on hand within our English Language Arts classroom. I plan on letting the students use the supplies to create various projects in ELA as well as provide them with photocopies of essential handouts.
