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

Starting the school can be hectic and stressful. Having essential items at the beginning of the school year will insure that students and teacher be successful. Having a clean and organized classroom is very important.

Having grade appropriate journals will help students express themselves during writers workshop.

The other supplies included are sharpie markers that the students will use to write their names on all their books and materials. Finally, because our students eat breakfast in the classroom, the mop is important in order to keep our floors clean and safe.

I am excited to start the school year with my new class. Together, with your donations, we'll make this a wonderful and productive school year!
