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

We are at a Title I school. Starting the new year off right can be difficult for students especially with a "donation or recommended list". I want to make sure that a few items can be checked off the list!

Colorful headphones and pencil pouches will definitely help support our organizational efforts as well as their academic learning!

These young learners will be elated to be able to choose their own color. I will make sure to emphasize how we care for our learning tools which will hopefully help with their duration.
