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 student population that I teach is in great need of the best motivation to ensure their academic readiness. These resources and supplies will not only benefit their daily work and engagement but also their self-motivation.

My students would greatly benefit from the existence of these materials since directly or indirectly they end up needing to use them.

The use of cardstock in PreK is a must as well as laminating pouches to ensure the use of quality materials and long-lasting memories. A folding step ladder, staplers, and the air dusters are resources that a teacher must have in order to provide a more smooth lesson planning and delivery for students. Please pitch in to help my little project so we can offer a better education for our little ones.
