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

Starting off the school year with the necessary supplies and materials helps to make the school year a success. These school supplies will help my student this school year during writing and reading, so they don't have to purchase supplies themselves. The supplies in this project will provide my students will the materials that are necessary for the day-to-day activities and work that will take place in our classroom.

Many of the supplies will help during stations and writing such as the red highlighters, fun colorful pencils, pencil cap erasers, yellow index cards for vocabulary words and color code dots for labeling.

I can not wait to read the stories the first week of school! Benny the Brave expressed bravery and emotions that students may have on the first day.
