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 25 second-grade students who are so sweet and helpful! They love to help me and others in the classroom.

I would love to have a personal laminator in my classroom to use for calendar pieces, math manipulatives, reading cards, and artwork that the students make to take home.

It would be super convenient to have a laminator that I can easily use, with supplies ready for my class. I often don't have time to use the school laminator, so this small, compact size is perfect for me!
