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 need some supplies for my new journey that started in August 2021. This is my second year as a teacher in a first-grade dual classroom. This year I have been focusing on making my classroom environment for my students.

Headsets, organizers, and other basic supplies will help me provide a more welcoming environment and have supplies that are used throughout the year.

I have already put so much into my classroom and have seen a big difference and the good impact it has caused on my students. I have two children in school and a little one on the way. This will help me budget my income. You can never be too organized and prepared for a new school year! New year, new students!
