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

These essentials will give my students the chance to continue our year on a positive note. Many of these essentials will be used every single day in our classroom. Along with that, many of these essentials will be given to the students, which will then teach them responsibility over their own items.

A few of the very important items that students will take responsibility for are their pens and pencils.

Each of my students will be given their own pens and pencils. This is just one of the many examples of how they will have personal responsibility over these items.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
