Materials to Make, Create & Explore our Learning!

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

This project will provide a variety of different materials to help my students be successful in our second grade classroom. Students will be able to complete hands on learning activities, use necessary materials for a variety of projects, work together with their peers, and be rewarded with fun and exciting incentives. My students come from varied economic backgrounds and do not always have the necessary supplies they may need for learning. These materials and incentives will help my students learn and grow and be prepared each day in 2nd grade!
