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

Homework is an everyday thing in first grade. Their folders come and go on a daily basis. We need durable folders to help us complete our homework, take home our precious work/projects, and take home important papers to our families.

These folders are sturdy and practical enough to fit everything a first grader may need to complete their homework independently: their alphabet chart, 120 chart, math facts, and so much more.

These folders were an absolute hit this year, and I am hoping to give these to my brand-new class of first graders for next year. Thank you so much for supporting my students and their education.
