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 are great kids. They are ready to learn and are eager to do well in school. I want to help them get organized and start routines to become successful students. Having agendas and calendars to keep track of their assignments is crucial to stay on top of their work and deadlines.

Basic supplies like sharpeners, highlighters, post-its and erasers help with completing work assignments.

Students should focus on doing well and learning and not on trivial things like not having a pencil when they are in class. For some students making it to class is a feat in itself so I am just thankful that they made it class.
