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 am a first year teacher and teaching at a Title 1 school where I feel that my students could really benefit from these extra materials. With some of these items I am trying to build up my classroom art supplies in order to allow my students to be creative in class. I am requesting the cleaning supplies in order to provide my students with a clean classroom. I also plan to utilize the dice and dry erase pockets for math games to help reinforce my lessons. Lastly, I am requesting the books for fun and engaging read alouds!
