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

Every year the new students in the class deserve a fresh start with new items put together just for them. These items are new folders, pens, and pencils so that they feel special and can start the new year with all brand new special items just for them. This makes them feel special and important and ready to start their new adventure in 4th grade.

Students will also recieve special birthday items when it is their special day.

I like to have things prepared for every student before they enter on the first day of school so they know that I have been thinking about them.

Ms. Bolar
Grades 3-5
