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

If you are a teacher you know that we need folders for everything! I am currently working in our new STEM Center where I teach all of the 5th-6th grade students and work with the Elective students in 7th-8th. So, I need to have a lot of folders readily available to keep everything organized.

The folders and colored paper will help organize the different activities I have for different grade-levels.

I love using the two prong folders to quickly display and save student writing/work. The colored paper will ensure that the activities I create are attractive and will help with organizing groups/centers. Thank you for your help with this classroom essential!
