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

My students are fantastic. They love to learn and always try their best. They come to school ready to learn. I love seeing them grow as learners and love to provide new material that will help them have a successful and fun school year.

Learning opens up the world and you will be able to do anything.

My students need sketch books that they will use for art. They will be drawing, painting and sketching in those books. They also need a Phonics through Poetry book, this will be used during the phonics lessons. My students also need new white boards. Those will help with sounding out and writing words, practicing to write sentences and more.

All of these materials will be used by the students daily in the classroom.
