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

Coming back to 3rd grade after a whirlwind of a pandemic to a more "normal" year, the students at my school need the tools to start the year off right.

The students deserve a clean classroom and an abundance of supplies!

These materials will help provide an engaging, positive learning environment for the students. The students will be able to focus on learning. The clipboards will allow for flexible seating work time and a better flow of writing. The basic supplies will help post student work to share what the scholars have achieved. The supplies will give the students the opportunity to produce the best possible work. This will enhance not only the classroom environment, but also the excitement of learning for the students!
