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 year I am not only adding a new grade level but I'll be at a new school and in a new classroom! Since I will be moving schools I lost many materials I used on a regular basis. I'm looking forward to getting some of my basics back to continue to use them with my new group of students.

I also added some items needed to replenish those typical back to school items such as crayons, markers, and pencils!

You will see some fidgets and games that will be used restock our cool down corner and treasure box. Looking forward to this fresh start!
