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 small project is asking for three items a teacher always needs: access to helpful teacher-made and vetted resources, dry-erase markers, and fresh pens to grade with!

Help me start the upcoming school year right with the basics I need to get going!

These items are absolute must-haves for classroom learning and always go a long way. Teachers Pay Teachers gift cards always help us stay creative in the classroom across all of my courses. Expo Markers help students stay engaged at the board, and Papermate Pens are a favorite for providing feedback!
