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

This project was designed to support our first graders as the school year begins! I have requested everything I need to get our classroom up-and-running! I've included lots of basic supplies that we will use throughout the year: golf pencils to support students at the beginning of the year, full pencils to end the year, markers, whiteboards, paper plates, and glue will all help stock our classroom for success! I work closely with my teammates to "share" students, so although I will have 25 students in my class, these materials will benefit 100 first graders at our school!

I have also included a few items to support the flow and organization of these materials.

I have requested book boxes, table caddies, and mesh bags; students will use all of these items every day as a way to help them learn to organize materials while at school! We will use laminating sheets to help keep our paper materials usable throughout the year and tape to help display materials throughout the classroom. We will use the cardstock and vinyl to help create fun and engaging bulletin board displays.

I have also requested a few items to add an element of "fun" to the classroom. This includes film for our instant camera and Elephant & Piggie books to add to our classroom library!
