Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Students in my 5th grade classroom are excited to learn and engage in all activities! As we approach the end of the school year, supplies are dwindling and the classroom is in need of a refresher. These supplies will be used to freshen up our classroom, while helping prepare for the incoming group of students for next year.

The "Better Than Paper" bulletin board paper holds up all year, if not longer, to the sun and other environmental factors.

It wipes clean, doesn't tear, and doesn't dull/fade. The border is great to add dimension the the board that we use to show all the wonderful things my students are doing!
