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

Students love getting new school supplies, I remember that as a child. I love to see their faces light up when they see their own desk covered with brand new supplies. No broken crayons or worn off erasers! I teach in a low socio economic area where it isn't always possible to get the supplies they need.

I believe when students come in knowing they don't have to worry about anything, really transitions into a positive classroom environment.

I desire that for my kiddos this year and am looking forward it!
