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 teach 115 students, many of which are English Language Learners. We often use colored anchor charts to help with vocabulary words and these supplies will help us continue to do so. My students LOVE color in the classroom. These supplies will help me make colorful anchor charts and be able to print on colored paper for them.

I can already anticipate the joy and excitement on their faces as we continue to add color to our world in 6th grade.

Thank you for helping me achieve this. I have amazing students that LOVE to learn and explore new things.
