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

Last year I started off the school year by giving my organizational tools to take on the new school year, this year I want to continue the tradition, with a twist!

My students took control this year and made their own materials requests based on what worked this year and what they still felt they were missing.

I have witnessed my sophomores grow immensely this school year, they have truly shown that they are passionate learners who want to succeed in school here at Garfield and beyond. These resources will help my students be organized in one of their most important high school years, JUNIOR YEAR! Many of my students are taking AP classes for the first time and they need assistance buying school supplies that keep them organized and prepared all year long.
