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

This year my students have the opportunity to use a personalized computer program each week that helps to grow their reading skills. This program is best utilized with headphones. This year my school was not able to provide headphones but this project would get my students headphone access.

My students this year LOVE horror books.

Recently, a book fair came to our school and they couldn't get enough of the horror books. I am hoping to add a bunch of their favorites from the book fair to our classroom library with the project.

Finally, our marker set that we use for end of unit projects is really on its last leg! We are down to brown, orange and grey. I am hoping for a new set to refresh our classroom art supplies.
