Celebrating 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

Every student deserves to come to a classroom that is stocked full of classroom basics and supplies that enable them for a successful school year.

Help our classroom replenish our yearly supplies for our classroom, with items like crayons, markers, glue, and other items that are the basics to equip a classroom.

We will be using our stickers, wooden pick a student, and decor items to celebrate the beginning of the year and various holidays throughout the year. We will have our supplies organized in our classroom for easy access for students to use. The safari items will help us to have a fun school year with our classroom safari theme. The students will be very enthused to be learning in an environment that is fun, colorful, and appropriate for their age and development.
