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

These supplies will help me get notifications home at the beginning of the school year. It always helps to catch parents attention with bright notes for important documents. The start of a school year can be hectic so having the ability to color code documents is important to me. I want to ensure I set up my students and parents with a great start and these supplies will be a huge benefit. These supplies will also be used for student art projects throughout the year. I love to incorporate creativity any chance I can! Thank you for supporting my 2022-2023 school year and fabulous first graders!
