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 off the school year with the necessary supplies and materials helps to make the school year a success. This project will provide school supplies for the classroom so that they don't have to purchase supplies themselves.

This project will provide my students with the necessary materials for our day-to-day activities and work that will take place in our classroom.

My students will use their pencil boxes to keep all school supplies organized and sanitized on a daily basis. Everything will be labeled with their name to identify their personal belongings.
