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

This project was created in hopes of providing my students with the every day things we need within our classroom. I am hoping that with these items, it will make our day run more efficiently and set my students up for success.

"Invest in our teachers, and our children will succeed."

The items requested will go to lots of different uses. The paper cutter and the hot glue gun will be used for not only our arts and crafts projects, but for our hands on learning phonics and math activities. The charging tower will be used during small group so that students can charge devices without worry of them shutting off. The paper tray will help sort weekly work and the stickers will be used to recognize that great work.

Thank you for your consideration towards these teaching essentials!
