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

If you've ever watched an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants, then the title probably made you chuckle, however if you haven't seen it, imagine a yellow talking sponge chanting the phrase while giggling with excitement and hopefully that at least put a smile on your face. As someone who loves back to school I am usually the one who is chanting the phrase with equal excitement. This year is no different.

With the economy being what it is, I want to relieve the parents of purchasing as much of the supplies as possible, but I need your help.

I am requesting basic materials such as folders, pens, supply pouches, dry erase markers and glue sticks to support daily learning. I am also requesting supplies to help a little of pizazz to the room, such as photo paper and magnets to post pictures of students. And cleaning tools to make sure our room also stays germ free.

Help me to make sure that my students are just as excited as I am to chant, "I'm ready!"
