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

Hello everyone! I am a first-year teacher and will step foot in my classroom with minimum supplies. I would love and appreciate your support with some supplies some are general supplies(pencils, pencils,crayons) and some that will help us in our learning (TIME for kids, Whiteboards)

I have not met my students yet but I am sure that they are wonderful and I want to provide them with fun lessons and activities where they learn and have fun while doing so.

I can't wait to meet them! Thank you in advance!
