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

Hello! I teach Kindergarten. I have been in education for 14 years. Throughout the years, I have learned the importance of teaching students proper organization with their materials. It can make all the difference when students know exactly where their materials are, and are not spending a lot of time looking for their items.

Part of being a Kindergartener is learning how to become independent with their own materials.

These items will help my students stay organized and help them keep track of their materials better.
