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 beginning of the school year sets the tone for the rest of it. I like to give my student the basic school supplies they need, and the necessary organization tools necessary to start the school year.

Having pencils, binders, organization storage, personalized areas, and materials is essential for a strong start for the next academic year.

Each student will have his/her own materials and area to find all they need to work in the classroom. An organized environment not only is visually appealing, but it mentally de-clutters proving the student the ability to focus on academics.
