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

I want to make my Spanish 3 and AP Spanish Language class more creative while learning about the language and spanish speaking countries. With copy paper I can print their daily lessons and worksheet for them to complete using the pencils and bic pens. AP Spanish Language practice a lot of writing email replies and essays so we use a lot of paper, pens, and pencils. We need a place to put my daily copies for them and that is where the 10 pocket over the door hanging file organizer come into play, to hold daily worksheets, homework and extra credit work. When students are done with their worksheets we need a place to organize by class period their completed work and that is why we will use the book bins for them to put their folders in to keep them organize and safe. Now we do oral presentations and special projects in class and that is where we need crayons, markers, masking tape, and the Cricut make 4 machine with its bundle accessories and the Cricut easy press 2 heat press machine for the students to create their special projects such as Spanish speaking countries personalized shirts and stickers for them to use and show during their presentations. We need a clean classroom that is why we need whiteboard cleaning wipes, microfiber cleaning cloths, disinfecting wipes and disinfecting spray to have a clean environment to teach and prevent sickness. Thank you for your donations, these Cricut 4 maker machine will be used every year for their personalized projects in the classroom.
