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

Believe, students need to feel secure with basic needs like pencils, paper, and a clean environment to focus in the classroom. The items requested will ensure that they are able to be aided when they need small care like the band aids. Catch the sneezes when they have a cold with tissues in the classroom, as well as wipe away any germs that occur on the desk with the Clorox wipes. Reward the positives throughout the day from the prize box and encourage being the best student they can be. Further, use the copy paper to assist the teacher when copies are needed to provide for students with graphic organizers, handouts, and printouts, and lesson plans to use at the copier. Pep and butter up the students with fresh mints or gum for a pop of fresh breath or energizer. Lastly, a little snack for those that need a quick feed to hit a hunger attack. All the items are sure to provide the Trust, and Belief for a caring classroom.
