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

The use of clipboards in my classroom will help students have the ability to sit wherever they want and be able to write. We even love writing and drawing outside whenever we can! The use of having a class set of headsets would benefit all my students during tech time. We usually get about 10 during state testing time but always have to return them. Having a class set would be beneficial to all. This will also ensure all of my students can take them home to use when needed. Would truly appreciate all of the support! Thank you!
