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

My classroom is still missing some basic necessities that I would love your help with! Pencils, sharpeners, markers, and extension cords for the chrome books. I also want to make our space more fun and tech-y and science-y. Therefore, I am wanting to order some more decorations, as my classroom has 30 ft high bulletin boards.

My students are all incredibly artistic - they made beautiful cards on the first day of school for one another - therefore, I am wanting to buy more markers and pens for them to use during creative time.

I also have a corner of the classroom dedicated to being a relaxing place, which has a handful of plants and a tea corner. Therefore, I am ordering some things to make that corner of the room thrive.
