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

Every year I try to prep early for the upcoming school year by getting a head start on supplies to replenish my classroom for my students. We go through so many materials every year it is wonderful to be able to start with new stuff. We use file folders for their work. We color code our subjects with the labels for their journals. Post it notes to answer questions on the board, stickers for rewards. They love to get a pencil and sticker on their birthday.

These supplies will make it easier on the students and parents when it comes time for back-to-school shopping.

The goal of my project is to get some basic materials for inside the classroom. Access to these materials will help to make our school days go smoother.
