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

The materials that I am requesting for my classroom or for the students first few weeks back in school. I am requesting a daily schedule, pocket charts, daily schedule package charts, pens and other sensory materials that the students can utilize throughout the day in the classroom.

The laminator that is requested will help to protect students work so it could be hung in the classroom also the laminator will come in use to laminate work that the students can use with dry erace markers in order to build their math, reading, and science fluency throughout the school day.

These materials will also help my students in all subject areas including math, science, and Financial literacy, to improve their daily living skills.
