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 love my students and care about their learning. Sometimes you get a group that needs extra love! This years class has destroyed some of my materials. I would like to replace so that my new students feel loved with materials that look more inviting.

The binders and sheet protectors are used for their learning binders.

Work goes into the sheets for students to use more than once to practice. For example forming letters and numbers correctly and learning to write their name.

My personal bookshelf was ruined by students being too hard on them. There have been rips and tears. I would like to upgrade to more durable bookshelves for my classroom library. An inviting and organized books help students feel comfortable and more willing to look and read books.
