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

For the new school year I want my students to come into a classroom where they feel welcome and happy. With the Better than Paper bulletin rolls, I want to decorate the walls with calming colors. This paper is better because it can be cleaned on throughout the school year.

Organization is a must to have a successful school year.

By having the plastic envelopes, my students will use it to keep their books, folders and supplies together and in order. Also they will need a sharpener to keep their pencils ready to write.
