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 have yet to meet my students for this school year, but I am excited to meet them. My third grade students will need back to school supplies to start the year right.

The Kleenex tissue, colored paper, cardstock paper, scissors, and sharpeners will be used all year long by students.

The Kleenex tissue will come in handy when the students have a runny nose and the back to school basics will be used to create a variety of projects. My students will have the essential to create, cut and write using these materials.
