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

I am going to be teaching an amazing bunch of first graders next year. They are transitioning from kindergarten and learning how to use "big kid" materials. These scholars are eager and excited to embark on the next part of their elementary journey.

I want to provide my students with everything they need from the very beginning of the year.

Pencil boxes, notebooks, and folders will give them a place to keep their materials together and organized. Students at this age are learning organization and responsibility, so giving them their own supplies will be instrumental in fostering these skills that come in handy as they progress through elementary
