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

Help us bring creativity and learning from school to home.

Help support student learning in and out of school.

With classroom supplies, students can continue learning at home. Our class motto, is "Practice makes better"!

These supplies will continue to enhance the learning in the classroom that I strive to create. My classroom is a place where my students really enjoy being organized and creative! Every item or supply that is placed in my classroom is treated with love and care, and the children are thankful for the opportunities to write and draw. All of the supplies have been chosen with my students in mind.

With these new supplies, my students will be able to choose from a variety of items that will allow them to practice the skills learned in the classroom and at home.

They will also be able to items that interest them. The best way to increase knowledge is to practice more, and these supplies will continue to help my students grow stronger in all subjects. My students already have shown an interest in connecting home and school, and this project will only help enrich their experiences.
