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

There are a lot of basic supplies that my students use throughout the year. Basic classroom supplies, such as pencils, dry-erase markers, paper, and crayons, are necessities in our daily classroom routine. With my students' love of writing and practicing words, we go through a lot of pencils, dry-erase markers, crayons, and paper. These supplies are used during our small group instruction and free time.

Half of my supply list consists of materials that we use daily in the classroom, and the other half consists of cleaning supplies to help keep our classroom environment clean and productive.

Having these supplies will help promote a healthy classroom environment and help my students do their best in class.
