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 are excited to start the new school year! They have gown so much and have become independent learners. Their favorite activities include word searches, vocabulary matches and other fun worksheets. My students also like to find a comfortable spot in the classroom to complete their work. Some students like working at tables while others choose the rug, bean bags and some even like pacing back and forth as they complete their work.

That is why it is essential that we get new clipboards!

In our classroom we use clipboards to complete work no matter where we are sitting. As the year comes to an end, our boards are broken and ready to be thrown out, that is why I am asking for new ones. We also need the plastic folders to hold everyone's completed worksheets in an organized way.

It would make a great difference if you could help support my classroom!
