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 will help us continue our super successful school year and help start a new school year fueled with supplies. After 100 days of first grade our supply bins are looking used and or empty. These items (bead kits, play doh & stamps) will help to replenish our supplies. Students will be thrilled with the new stamps to help them practice their sight words and spelling words. They will love the new headphones since some of the students have broken their current one. In addition, our iPad station is a jumble mess of cords and broken chargers. The organization items will help students independently put away their device in an neat manner.
