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 upcoming 2024-2025 school year will be my 10th year as a teacher! I have found that every year there are many students who struggle to stay neat and organized.

I want to provide my students with the materials they need to stay organized so that they can be successful for the entire school year and beyond.

This project provides each student with two binders that will be used daily; one for their morning warm ups and a general one that can hold the rest of their papers. The folders will be used to organize the handouts for the various subjects and units we learn throughout the year. The pencil pouch will help them keep their supplies together in one place.

With your help, my students will learn the skills to be a well organized and successful person! Thanks for your support!
