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

I am so excited to return to first grade this upcoming school year. I imagine my new students are as excited to start first grade! It is always a good time in class 304! I am looking forward to changes in my classroom and in my school. I want to make sure I am prepared to tackle these.

I am asking for supplies that are always in high demand in first grade such as a laminating machine to ensure that my resources are durable and can be used the entire school year.

As well as other supplies that will allow me to make teaching fun and interactive.
