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

These items are essential to a well organized classroom. When starting a new school year, things must be organized, labeled, and decorated. Students will have a new place to call home. With a new classroom to decorate and organize I hope to have all the necessary supplies.

Many students are seeing their classroom first time and with simple organization supplies, they will be walking into a learning wonderland.

Help us start the school year with all the supplies needed to set up a new classroom. Our PreK classroom will be relocating and many of our walls will be empty whilst waiting for new little pieces of artwork. I hope to have all the things needed to label and decorate as soon as the school year begins!
