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

It's hard to believe that we are half of the way through the school year. At this time, we found that we needed some additional materials to keep our classroom going. My students need timers and dry-erase markers to help them complete their classwork. Crackers and pretzels are also always available to students to eat when they are hungry, and our supply is starting to run low. We also need more tissues and hand sanitizer, especially at this time of the year. Lastly, as students will be returning from break, I thought it would be fun to add a new game to our classroom collection. (Even better, this game helps to improve phonemic awareness skills!)

With this project, we hope to replenish our supplies to help keep our classroom running smoothly.

Thank you in advance for helping our classroom be a safe and fun place for learning.
