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 year I will be looping with my kindergarteners on to first grade. Since I already know this group of students, I can prepare this school year based on how they learn. My students are visual learners. Last year they benefited a lot from a semi-organized folder system. I want to have a prepared organized system to start off the year.

These basic classroom supplies will help a lot throughout the school year.

Last year we lost many scissors, pencils and used many glue sticks. The binders will be used for morning work as well as phonics instruction. The folders are for each subject. This well help my first graders stay organized.
