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

We are nearing the begging of an exciting new school year and I am so excited for my next group of second graders! I want to make sure I can make our classroom as prepared as I can to provide them with every opportunity to learn.

My students are unique individuals with diverse talents, interests, and learning styles - their creativity, curiosity, and determination make them special, and catering to their individual needs will help unlock their full potential as learners.

I am asking for pencil boxes to help students stay organized by providing a designated space to store their everyday necessities. Paper trays will help keep students' worksheets and assignments organized, reducing the chances of misplaced or lost materials. Clipboards enable students to work comfortably in various settings, both indoors and outdoors. They offer flexibility and mobility during learning activities, which can enhance engagement and make learning more enjoyable. Composition books serve as a dedicated space for students to take notes, complete assignments, and reflect on their learning.
