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 23-24 school year is closely approaching, my mind is already thinking of what my new incoming kiddos will need when the 24-25 school year starts back up in August. Many of the items in this project such as pencils, erasers, rulers, scissors, glue sticks, and 2-pocket folders are classroom staples that are great deals now or similar in price to back to school prices.

Other items such as Kleenex, baby wipes and Clorox wipes in this project are used year round to consistently clean desks and for student hygiene.

There are some items in this project that will be used by me such as whiteboard markers, whiteboard spray, and fine point pens for grading. Some of the other items such as stress balls and mini scented highlighters will be used as rewards for our Prize Jar Friday drawings.

My goal is for every student to be prepared to be successful in my classroom.
