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

This year I am starting a college and career readiness course at our school, and as such I will be helping my students get organized and begin thinking about life after high school. My students are always grateful and appreciative of the materials I provide for them, but this year I want to make sure my classroom serves as a space where they have everything they could need.

My students are very curious and excited to learn more about how to become the best scholars they can be, this year we will go over organizational and notetaking skills in our class.

The notebooks and binders will be used for all of their classes, I have many students who will benefit from receiving the materials.
