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

It is my first year of teaching and I did not realize so quickly supplies go! Pencils are our most used supply and we are going through them really quickly. We use it for every part of the day whether that be for notetaking, quizzes, or independent work. Additionally, expo markers are also a great supply. The whiteboard is a great space where I am able to show math problems on the board step by step and allow students to show their learning in front of the class. As for students, their personal whiteboards gives them the opportunity to engage and demonstrate their learning. I would greatly appreciate any donation to these supplies that would support my students' learning!
