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

The beginning of the school year is always an exciting time! Second grade is a fun new adventure and they need materials that will make them feel ready to come back to school.

Help me give my students exciting materials, such as a treasure chest, pencils, and rainbow sensory viewers, to start off the year strong.

Although I have not met this new group of students, I remember them as eager 1st graders from last school year.

These materials are going to be used as notebooks for math, science, and grammar. There are also fun incentives for students to practice the new rules of second grade. Thank you for your consideration!
