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 Students

This year I am teaching a new grade level! How exciting! I am teaching second grade and I am excited to begin the adventure. I have 19 students in my classroom that will benefit from this project. I taught some of these students last year as first graders. They are fun, ready to learn and inquisitive. Second grade is a tremendous year of personal growth for students and they deserve a welcoming environment. Please considering help me create the classroom I want my students to have.

"Reading is a passport to countless adventures." -Mary Pope Osborne

My Project

I am writing a project requesting a TPT gift card to purchase already created, teacher vetted task activities that will help me meet students where they are with skills in numerous areas. These activities would be done during morning time, centers or other times where differentiation can happen.

Tasks boxes are so beneficial for both teacher and students.

With these, I want to make sure that these activities last. The photo storage containers are the perfect size to house these activities. Students can grab them easily and keep them organized.

Thank you for considering donating.
