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

Books for a novel study enhance students’ reading skills, critical thinking, and engagement through shared stories and discussions. The 5-tab dividers help students stay organized by keeping their materials separated and easy to find, promoting responsibility. Floor cushions create a comfortable and inviting space for group learning and independent reading, encouraging focus and collaboration. Classroom essentials like Lysol wipes and hand sanitizer maintain a clean, healthy environment, reducing illness and absences. Pencils provide necessary tools for writing and completing assignments. Together, these resources support a productive and welcoming learning atmosphere.
