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

We have reached day 103! Woo hoo! The kids are excited, and yet we have much to achieve these remaining weeks in school. The Freshman are going to be applying their reading and writing skills to our novel study of Sherman Alexie's highly acclaimed novel, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian. This project will help use get basic classroom supplies we are in dire need of or need replacing.

Help us fill our classroom with basic supplies such as markers, pens, pencils, sticky notes, and cleaning supplies to clean up the glue mess from our work stations.

I am also asking for supplies to help my freshman stay focused and organized in order to avoid the dreaded end of the year stress from being overloaded with classwork, homework, and projects/assessments.
