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

I am so excited to start a new school year with new students! These materials will help me get my classroom ready for them to come learn and enjoy first grade.

The organization materials will help me to set up a new library area for them.

The bookshelf will be used to display books and allow us to rotate through our abundance of amazing books. I hope this will get them so excited about reading and allow their passion for learning to grow.

There are also some materials that will be used to enhance small group instruction to engage students with hands-on learning.
