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 upcoming school year I have been tasked with teaching kindergarten! It will be my first time teaching kindergarten since 2019. Kindergarten is a really fun grade but the truth is I am really nervous about it. The last five years I taught second grade and I loved it. But as nervous as I am about moving down to kindergarten I am also very excited.

To be prepared for this new journey I will be needing supplies to help welcome my new students and make their first school year a memorable one.

On this list you will see items that I will use to decorate the classroom, items to help incentivize my new students and items that will help facilitate learning. Im looking forward to making this year one my students will never forget.
