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

This project includes materials to help support student learning and maintain a clean classroom space for students. Each of the items in this project are items that I use on a daily basis. I keep a stack of pencils on my desk and give them out to students that need one. I use Clorox wipes to clean desks and seats for students. I stock hand sanitizer at the front of my room for students to use as they enter. These materials will help me close out this year and get ready for the next.
