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 that my students are ready to learn at any time. My students have told me that they feel when they do their work on paper, they feel that they memorize things better, they comprehend things better and they can go back to it when they need it for a reminder. These materials will make a huge difference in their learning because we will not have to worry about not having enough paper to do our assignments on or do the labs or activities with or if they need scratch paper when they take a math test. The tissues will help my students because they are sometimes sick and need a tissue and the tissue holder with not touching the tissue box, so we can stop spreading germs around.
