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

This project includes materials to help support student learning and maintain a clean classroom space for students. The items in this project are things that will be used daily. The pencils will be available for students who need one. Clorox wipes, hand sanitizer, and tissues will help keep the class clean. The crates, trays, and hanging folders will help organize the room which will improve student learning. The students will keep their notebooks in the crates. Assignments will be organized in the hanging folders and the trays. In a class of middle schoolers, air fresheners are a gift.

Some of my students are not able to buy school supplies so additional pencils will help.
