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

I am asking for supplies to help my students feel comfortable and calm in our classroom. I have included fidgets and stuffed animals that will help my kindergarteners calm down, stay focused, and/or find comfort during the day. I have also asked for a few supplies that help my students stay involved in their learning like an interactive pocket chart for activities and watercolors for fun Friday alphabet painting. Each one of these simple supplies will make some kind of difference in my student's kindergarten experience. Even the paper towels will help keep our classroom clean from spills and make each day that much easier and brighter.
