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 year I will be moving to first grade. I am looking forward to taking on a new role with all of the fun and energy that first grade has in store! In order to successfully restart, I am going to need art supplies, sentence strips, and basic necessities to cultivate a fun and organized classroom environment. I am looking forward to making many projects and labels with card stock and teaching writing with brand new pens and pencils.

The first graders will learn math, reading, writing, science, social studies, and SEL.

Each of these subjects require different materials, activities, and energy.

Once completed, this project will provide my classroom with all of the recourses to successfully teach first grade!
