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

My students have been working hard all year. As a reward, I am turning our classroom into a camping site. The supplies and treats will provide students with a memorable experience. We will read under our tents and eat yummy snacks throughout the day. It will be a fun-filled day of reading and relationship-building activities. The students will have their choice of snacks throughout the day. We also provide some students with a daily snack in class. Please help me provide my students with what they need to end our school year with a bang!!
