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

With this project, I will be able to provide my students with the basic necessary supplies to have a school year full of learning with no worries about not having essential tools for learning. Not one single student should feel discouraged in school by not having basic supplies available, especially pencils.

The supplies in this project will provide my students with the materials that are necessary for day-to-day learning and work in our classroom.

Some of the basic necessities are pencils for writing, laminating pouches to laminate student task cards and center activities. A table top easel will be perfect for our small group work. Chart paper and markers will be used to make bright and colorful anchor learning charts so students can use as references. These are the important footprints of learning in our classroom that will support any unit of study.

Thank you for making these basic supplies available to all my kids.
