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

We are getting ready for the second semester and we're excited! Ready and eager to start back school it is important for my students to be prepared. The pencil sharpener will provide my students with ready to go pencils so they are ready to complete task without interruptions. The individual organizers will allow my students to be responsible with keeping up with Math manipulatives that they need to succeed. With having younger students giving them their individual supplies will prepare them to be independent learners and responsible for their own materials.
