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

My first grade students will be taking all their homework using the two-pocket folder with daily Math practice work in sheet protectors every day and returns with it the next day. It helps that they are heavy duty because they will need to last for the whole school year.

All the materials will be used in the classroom to help their learning more interactive and fun!

With the items you are providing for us, from pencil boxes to markers, it will be a great help for the parents financially and makes my preparation a lot easier.

The pastels and watercolor papers will make art for them more memorable in addition to learning how to use crayons creatively.
