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 past two years have been difficult for all students and families, but especially for our students in our Title I school. The unpredictability of the virus made learning even more difficult than the typical year. There are large learning gaps and we are all working hard to catch up on the things we have missed.

These beginning of the year items will get the school year off to a great start, and put a smile on each student's face!

The folders will keep them organized and optimize the class time. The bands and chairs are a tool to manage the anxiety that came with the unpredictability of the past two years. White boards, markers, and pencils are essential items that we use daily that our population typically can't afford to donate.
