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

Summer is quickly nearing and the students are so excited! These kids have been working so hard all year long they are ready for summer. With nearly 2 months off school kids can sometimes find themselves bored.

Help me give the students some materials to stay busy this summer!

These materials are going to help make sure they make the most of their summer by practicing their skills to be ready for second grade and also some things to just have fun! I can't wait to send the kids off on summer vacation with their bags they can take anywhere their summer adventure takes them!
