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

My students come from a variety of backgrounds and school is the one place where they come together to learn, collaborate and grow! This year I am starting fresh at a new school and am excited to provide my students with the tools for a successful school year.

The pencils, white board markers, and variety of classroom supplies will get us started in the fall as we get to know one another.

As I am moving schools, the classroom decorations will help to make the room warm and welcoming. I am looking forward to a new year!
