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

Hello! It has been such a wonderful school year, and I am beginning to get prepped and ready for a successful 2025-2026 school year!

I am requesting prize bin materials, classroom essentials, and a pull-down map for social studies!

This year, I went through all of my prize bin toys with my current students, and I am requesting some fun prizes to reward my next class with! Class rewards are such a motivating thing, and students absolutely love them! Along with that, I am requesting some construction paper and pens that students use for crafts in the classroom.

Lastly, I am requesting a pull-down map for social studies! Second grade is a pivotal time when we study maps, and I do not have a physical map in my classroom. Students LOVE exploring maps, and this would be such a helpful tool to have!

Thank you so much for your consideration!
