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

This is year so far has been a whirlwind as a new teacher at our high school! I have a group of Freshman who need new and fresh supplies (crayons, pencils, stickers, tape) plus organization items (storage, laminating supplies, folder box, strip lights) that will allow me to keep their work and encourage them to keep their grades up with ease! I have also included a few prizes like stickers and fidgets to help them stay on task and encourage them to do their work on time! Adjusting to a new school has been A LOT not only for me, but for my students! Help bring the final finishing touches together for my classroom to transform into a home for my students and I!
