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 materials and supplies that I am requesting are for our students to build a love for learning. This year, we aim to create a fun and clean classroom environment where students want to come and learn! We will be creating an area for students and teachers to feel welcome! Our goal for first grade is to read on a level J. We will make a reading corner that makes reading exciting and will help students build more love for reading! The prize box will have some fun toys and supplies that will encourage our students to come to school and look forward to new toys! The learning centers will be used to help students work in groups and collaborate to learn new sounds and words! We will work together to help make this year a success!
