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

With your help, I hope to create an inclusive, fun and engaging environment for my kindergarten students this school year.

My goal is to encourage my incoming 25 bilingual kindergarten students to actively learn and collaborate with their peers.

The chart paper, markers, crayons and colored pencils will be used to engage students in group work and independent practice throughout all subjects.

Other basic supplies listed like erasers, pencils and glue sticks will help ensure my students have access to quality supplies to use in the classroom this school year.
