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

Everything that was added onto my list will each help my students with their fine motor skills or their cognitive skills. I want to make sure that I am able to fulfill my students education to their fullest capabilities, and what better way to do so then having learning tools in the classroom! I am requesting chair pockets, pencil boxes, storage baskets, dry erase boards and other learning tools! Working with the little ones is all about having structure and a well maintained class, with that being said, most of my supplies that are in the cart are to help my students when they are working in small groups or independently. Each of my students will also be gifted with supplies such as their pencil box that will contain crayons and pencils.
