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

Being a new teacher is a challenge. Starting off as a new teacher is even more of a challenge! Help a new teacher out by donating towards the tools need to start off a strong school year! All of these tools allows my students and I to constantly stay organized and prepared to learn. Folders and notebooks allows for organization and keeping track of what you are learning. A backpack and monthly whiteboard allows for easy traveling and consistent tracking of important reminders or events. Also, clips, sheet protectors, and scotch tape dispensers allows for the students to constantly show their work off by having it on their displayed throughout their classroom. Being able to have this items donated to our classroom will give us the prefect start in the school year.
