Showcasing Student Work!

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'm so excited to meet a new group of students for the 2025-2026 school year. Every year they are very excited to take part in science, math, and other projects in my class.

Let's get creative and add foam boards to showcase more amazing student work!

My classroom does not have cork boards/strips on the walls to hang up work. The Velcro strips will make it very easy to adhere foam boards in place on the walls. More sticker paper is also needed for student incentives. I create hand drawn stickers for the students to earn throughout the year. They love all the different designs and work hard to earn them. Lastly, the variety of tape will be used for science projects and other activities in the classroom.

Thanks for your continued support!
