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

We are almost a month into the school year and I am slowly getting reacclimated to the grade level and organized within my classroom. It is going well I think--it helps that I have such an awesome class.

Now that I am becoming comfortable, I have had time to take inventory of everything I have and need to replace to have a smooth school year.

I am asking for a new broom set and trash pickers to clear up the garbage; a toolset to lift/lower desks; seat cushions to sit on during whole group lessons and morning circle; math posters and charts and staple guns to put up said pocket charts and posters as well as those I already have (they keep falling!); printer ink to print signs and labels; and, command strips, twine, and clothespins to hang up my kids' work and art pieces!
