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

Just to let you know, teachers need so many materials to start off a new school year. First of all, my students need plastic homework folders that will not rip on the first week of school.

This school year I will have 26 students in my class, and every single chair in my class will be filled, therefore my class is in need of study corrals.

Study corrals allow students to take tests comfortably, without feeling someone is copying them. They also help students to focus on the given tasks, such as in their writing.

My students also need copier paper to create mini books. The mini books help them reinforce their learning and motivate them. We create books for sounds, nouns, adjectives, compound words, and so on.

Another important item my class needs are good primary pencils. The pencils are the right size for kindergarten and first graders. The pencils also have erasers, so that they don't loose time looking for erasers.
