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 am so grateful for this opportunity to submit a project for some soon-to-be excited Kindergarteners! I plan to use these materials to incentivize and liven up my classroom! I also added supplies that run out or break every year.

We are at a STEM school so I also added some fun science supplies for exploring and investigating.

My students love learning new things, and with these supplies, we will be off to a great and prepared start to the new year.

Thank you for your generosity for my large and fun classroom!
