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

Starting the school year with all the essential tools, materials, and resources can only help create an incredible learning environment with a little less stress.

Every student deserves the opportunity to start the school; year off knowing that they have everything they need in class to be successful.

Students in our class use items, such as disinfectant wipes, binders, pencils, graph paper notebooks, and coloring supplies daily. Creating a classroom space where materials are well organized for students is also essential to help them maintain routines and feel secure in their surroundings. Simple items such as desk labels, material pouches, and shoe racks that double as unique storage work wonders for creating an organized space in a bustling classroom. Without these essential items, the burden of buying materials falls on families, and leveling the playing field for all learners goes much further than many people realize.
