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

This is my first year at my current school and I am loving getting to know my special kindergarten students. Most of the students in my class come from single family homes in disadvantaged neighborhoods, but that doesn't mean that they don't deserve the best! I've noticed some needs around the classroom, and would love to be able to provide for them.

Kindergarten is a rough year for some, but little things can help make it the best one!

I want to make learning time easier with dry erase boards and erasers students will use to practice their writing and math. Water bottles will be great to help them stay hydrated throughout the day, especially since we can't use water fountains like we used to. I am excited to give my students these necessities.
