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

My students have had a long year of learning and have made great progress in reading and writing. With the end of the year fast approaching, I want to give my students some activities to help keep them sharp over the summer.

I am requesting journals so that my students can write about their summer activities.

I'm asking for two sizes so they can use the journals if they travel. If you give students a journal, they will need fancy pens and pencils to write in their new journals. I'm also requesting coloring books with stackable crayons.
