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 am preparing the classroom to receive new second graders in about one and a half weeks! I am requesting 2nd grade essential materials that we will be using daily, all year long. The purple homework folders will help students keep track of their homework packets. The green folders will be used as the reading/writing folders so students can keep all their work organized and in one place. The clear boxes will be labeled with students' names and be used as their pencil boxes for the whole year. The polaroid camera will be used to capture moments in 2nd grade. Students will be receiving those photos in a personalized photo album at the end of the year!
