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

The following materials are all needed for important aspects in my classroom. For instance, the laminator would not only help keep up important information throughout my classroom but would help me laminate documents that can easily be erased by students when working through math problems. Snacks and goodies are always essential to have as I am working with hungry 5th graders and can be part of my classroom management system. I'd also love to use the plastic folders so students can have their take-home folder to keep assignments organized and important newsletters home to parents without getting lost in their backpacks. Every single material has a purpose and would be very beneficial to the environment in my classroom.
