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

The materials I am requesting will be used throughout our school year. The various stamp pads provide a colorful way to say "good job" on homework reading logs.

The rocks will be used to create "kindness rocks," which will serve as a theme for our school year.

Students will design and paint the rocks to decorate our classroom and later, to gift to a friend.

The composition books work well when I teach cursive writing and students like the smaller size of the books. Each student receives a birthday card, and I cannot live without the 2 pocketed plastic folders, which help out with keeping student desks organized and the daily delivery and return of homework. Thank you for your consideration of this project!
