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

The beginning of the school year is always an exciting, busy time. Teachers are often extremely overwhelmed trying to get their classrooms set up, plan the first month of community building activities and lessons, and just doing everything they can to start the year strong with their new class.

I am hoping to get a head start on these beginning of year stresses by ordering everything I usually need on this project!

This project includes basic necessities like pencils, dry erase markers, pencil pouches, printer ink, and so much more. I've also included prizes and snacks so I can make sure to get a strong start to the year rewarding positive behavior in our new community.
