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

These basic items are needed for our daily cleaning routine. I want to make sure all my students have what they need to have a clean and ready to go classroom. Students use Kleenex and Lysol wipes to disinfect when they are sick. The broom is to try to maintain the classroom clean.

Basic classroom supplies that are use in our daily routine.

The paper will be use to change our bulletin board paper. The bright colors bring life to our classroom. The stick paper will help cover the furniture that is damage but cannot be replaced.
