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

This coming school year I will be teaching Kindergarten for the first time ever. I am excited, but scared at the same time. I have been told that kindergarteners have many accidents. They have spills and restroom accidents. For those reasons I am asking for a spot cleaner, a carper sweeper, paper towels, and breakfast trays to keep their spills contained.

When students say Teacher, Teacher, I had an accident, I can say no worries I'll clean it up.

I would also like to request pocket charts to keep us organized. Thank you so much for all your time, support, and donation to our classroom projects. Thank you!
