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

The materials and supplies I am requesting are for our class to be a safe and welcoming classroom environment. This year our classroom theme is about being kind and spreading kindness around our community, style, and school. The green bulletin board paper will be used to bring color to our classroom. The confetti borders will be put around the bulletin boards as decoration. The pencil sharpener will be used daily to ensure our pencils are nice and sharp to make us better writers. The writing notebooks will be used to help us form our letters correctly. The mailbox will help students stay organized and keep their parents updated with notices. The desk organizer will help me organize essential documents. The confetti paper will be used for important invitations for the parents. All confetti accessories will be used around the classroom to help spread kindness.
