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 basic supplies will help my students be successful in the classroom. We use dry erase markers and erasers each day during our Reading and Math centers. Students have independent reading book bags that need to be replaced. These new bags will help secure their books and will help them enjoy their independent reading time each day.

The students love working independently and these supplies will be a huge help to their learning success!

My students are special because they come to school each day reading to learn! They are very engaging learners and prove how much they love learning every day!
