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

Fourth graders are at such a fun and exciting age—they're curious, independent, and full of creativity, yet they still love to learn through hands-on activities and teamwork. Their energy and enthusiasm make every day in the classroom an adventure! To help keep their learning organized and engaging, classroom caddies are a must-have. These caddies will neatly hold highlighters for annotating texts, Vis-à-Vis pens for reusable worksheet activities, and sandwich bags filled with flashcards for quick and interactive learning. With everything easily accessible, students can focus on growing their skills, collaborating with classmates, and making the most of their learning time!
