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

The goal for this project is to provide students with fresh school supplies that they can use in the classroom in order to feel confident and prepared for the upcoming school year.

Lysol wipes and hand soap will ensure that the classroom is squeaky clean and smelling fresh for the students.

The pencils and easers tops will provide students with the writing materials to complete their classwork neatly.

First grade is a magical time in a student's life and starting the school year with new supplies will motivate them to work hard and be prepared for school.
