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

To continue the 2023-2024 school year in the right direction, I am requesting some classroom basics. The products I have selected will continue to lead students in the direction of a great school year. The class set of Stuart Little books is great for having students understand how thinking outside the box can give them creative solutions. The microwave is convenient and functional. It would make packing lunch so much easier. The notebooks are a necessity for everyday use with all our subjects. The Privacy shields are great for enhancing students focus and eliminating distractions.

The ink is necessary for our printer to improve the students' learning comprehension and ability to focus.

The Post-it Easel Pad is ideal for making anchor charts, capturing ideas, and collaborative learning.
