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

We always need tools to keep our materials organized. Folders always helps students maintain a neat and tidy tub. The different colored folders will help students organize their reading, writing, math, and unfinished work. We also need plastic crayon boxes so students' crayons last longer and don't break easily. The sharpeners and other items will help students complete assignments throughout the day. All these materials will help with transitions from one activity to another. Students will gain more learning time because they will spend less time looking for lost materials.
