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 a great group of kids. They are all very hands on learners and extremely helpful. In fifth grade, they love to learn through playing games and in small groups. These materials that I am asking for will allow me to be organized, planned out and ready to grab and go when the students need things. In fifth grade, my students like to work and stay busy at their pass. These materials will allow me to be planned out and prepared for my students who are ready to move onto the next task throughout the day.
