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

I am looking forward to this upcoming school year!

In order for my kindergarten students to have a successful school year, they need basic everyday supplies to help them reach their full potential: Crayons, glue sticks, pencils, & folders.

Crayola crayons, plastic table caddies, and colored pencils are essential in a kindergarten classroom. Students have homework on a weekly basis and will use the plastic 2 pocket folders to keep everything neat and organized. Sharpened pencils come in handy to create letters of the alphabet, their names, numbers, and so much more. The hand sanitizer is a must to fight the spread of germs.

Thank you so very much in advance for helping my students have a wonderful school year!
