4th Graders Will Be Off to a Great Start!

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 students here at Garvanza are so hard working. They come to school everyday ready to learn and have fun while they are doing it! Our students are learning to be responsible leaders.

One of the best ways to help students be responsible to to help them get organized!

These supplies are going to help my students keep all of their supplies organized and in one place. Without pencil boxes, students misplace their supplies all the time! It is a distraction and a waste of time! Not only will the pencil boxes come in handy but all of the markers will be great for projects that the students will work on through out the year!
