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

Teachers are always thinking and planning ahead. As we are whining down our 2023-2024 school year, I am already thinking about what my students next year will need to be successful in their last year in elementary school, 5th grade.

These supplies will give my students the materials they need to start the school year off the right way.

There is always something special about new supplies and school materials at the start of the year. I want my students to have everything they need to be successful in 5th grade.
