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

Going back to school is exciting for students and teachers, everyone loves new materials. Sometimes it is hard to give those to the students when teachers have a lot of things to purchase for their classroom to make the classroom run smoothly.

Who doesn't love new supplies?

Many of the students in the classroom are used to hand me downs. So getting these new supplies to the students would be awesome. The white boards would be used during instruction so each of the students have their own board to use and extra expo markers throughout the year.

Starting the year off right is really important for students and teachers. Knowing supplies go quickly in the classroom it is always necessary to have more on hand when you run out.
