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 Students

Hello everyone! I am a first-year teacher that’s super excited to meet her first graders! I will be teaching in a community near Seattle. My students are eager to learn and always prepared for upcoming lessons. While getting to know my students I know they are hard workers and never give up!

My Project

Hello Everyone! I am a first-year teacher who is starting to build up her classroom. Within my project, I have various supplies, math manipulatives that will support my first graders, and reading manipulatives that will support them with phonics! Additionally, I have included different materials needed in an everyday classroom, like pencils, dry erase markers and easel paper. I wanted to include some chairs so students can have additional seating in the classroom!

I am slowly starting to build up different materials for my classroom since we begin school on September 1st!

This is super exciting I am preparing every way possible to make it the best school year yet!
