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

As the new school year approaches, I must prepare for my new 3rd-grade students. I cannot wait to welcome them and get to know each and one of them. A few items on this list are class sets that will help our class be aligned and start the year successfully. Other items, such as pens and whiteboard markers, are for me for grading and utilizing the whiteboard.

Please help me help my students succeed by starting the year with supplies they will utilize daily.

The prongs folders will be students writing folders where they will keep writing resources to go back to refer to and keep all of their writing pieces in one place. Students will learn to be responsible and organized. The gel pens will get them excited for writing block. The markers will allow my students to make colorful creations for projects, posters, and team activities. The privacy dividers are for any extensive assessments or state testing. I currently borrow a few, but I would love a set for my class. Lastly, the Kleenex is an essential classroom item that is always needed, especially with allergies and colds.
