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

For this coming school year, I will be moving to a new school and working with all new students. I am thrilled to meet my new scholars and am looking forward to a great year filled with learning and fun.

These classroom basics will help me and my students start off the school year strong by ensuring we have everything we need to keep the classroom clean, safe, and productive!

I have requested supplies for cleaning and hygiene, dry erase markers (because you can never have enough), a new pencil sharpener, and some storage solutions. The paper towels and tissues will help make sure we have a clean, healthy classroom. Storage carts will keep things organized and maintain a visually appealing classroom, which research shows improves student learning outcomes.
