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

Starting the year, teachers and students need many things to ensure they have the resources to work at home. At school, students often need a little, pick me up such as a snack, or a way to calm down when frustrated.

This project, comprising of folders, items to go in the folders, snacks, and calm down tubes will help give my students the resources they need to work worry free at school and at home.

Getting the year started is often very costly and I’ve always done it on my own. Helping fun this project, will help cut down my costs for items that I generally buy on my own every year. I make folders with resources for students out of my own pocket every year. I would appreciate any help to get this done this year.
