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

Throughout their education, there are many new things we learn, activities we get to do, and more. The Items on the list support the organization in the classroom. Items will also support for providing for my students as not all families can afford to provide essential items. Organization in and out of the classroom is very important to support with the learning in the class

Imagine starting your education journey and stepping into a room that is nice and organized.

You then sit down, have your materials, and seating area, and work with your peers. Being able to provide my 2024-2025 Kindergarten class with open arms and a very nice welcome with these supplies would be amazing. Again this is the start of their education journey so I do want them to experience it firsthand with amazing spirits.
