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

The wonderment of student learning is essential during the school year, and having the necessary supplies is paramount. The at-your-seat storage sacks allow each student to be in charge of their daily supplies and books, which promotes responsibility. The glue sticks are vital to daily assignments.

Reliable headphones will allow students to be successful when we engage in our daily technological activities for language arts and math.

The letter station will help promote letter and sound retention, which is essential during the school year. "To the basics" is my battle cry for the upcoming school year!
