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

My 2nd graders need help remaining organized between home and school. Using binders to keep everything in one place with help to support this and ensure that materials will not be lost as they travel between home and school.

Each homework binder will have protective sleeves to keep important materials neat, tidy, and organized.

They will also include a pencil case to keep pencils and important notes between home and school. In addition, there will be a writing journal and folder to ensure homework is returned neatly. Lastly, each student will receive a pair of headphones which they will be able to use with their Chromebooks to help ensure focused learning away from school.

Having these homework binders will help to ensure that my students remain organized throughout the school year no matter where they are.
