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

As the end of the school year is approaching, I am already getting ready for my next group of incoming first graders.

My "firsties" are enthusiastic learners ready to take on first grade!

This coming August, they will be fresh out of kindergarten and will be learning to become independent learners. They are in need of pencil pouches and book bags to keep their materials organized and easily accessible. As creative learners, they will also be needing crayons and scissors, to develop their artistic abilities. Lastly, we are in need of lamination materials so that I can preserve their work as keepsakes to treasure forever!
