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

If I cannot meet the basic needs of my students, then they will not be ready to learn in my classroom. The same works for teachers. We walk into our classrooms with a blank slate. All the cute games, posters, and learning centers are made or bought by the teacher. I am trying to get supplies that will meet my students basic needs for learning and help me make their learning magnificent.

Meeting a classrooms basic needs such as: Kleenex tissues, folders, crayons, pencils, and binders helps the teacher open the door to set the foundation to our students education.
