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

In 3rd grade, you are beginning to know how it feels to be organized! The first half of the year is devoted to training my students to put papers in the correct spot so they can be easily located at a later time!

What better way to do this than organized folders for each student?

I would love for my students to have folders for weekly work as well as homework. New to me this year are math folders. I think my students would really love to have fancy folders to keep their math work in.

Towards the middle of the year, our folders are very well loved and I would be elated if my students could begin the January school year (after Christmas Break) with new folders!
