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 year, I will be teaching my 22nd class of first graders! I am in need of some basic supplies. I am requesting Sharpie markers, sentence strips, markers, glue sticks, and scissors. I want my incoming first graders to have all the supplies they need to feel successful. I want them to have everything they need to be successful artists, writers, and emerging readers. These are essential supplies that, over the many years, I have run out of. I would like to start the year off feeling very prepared and ready to help a new and eager batch of first graders, and teach a love of learning.
