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

It's that time of year for a refresh of supplies. I love being able to provide my students with the things they need to be successful in my class, but things tend to go missing or get broken as the school year goes by.

I want to make sure my students have everything they need at their disposal, without any questions.

A few calculators , scissors, snacks for independent reading time, and cleaning refills are some of the things we need to replenish. I hate making my students feel like they have to feel bad when things are accidentally taken or lost, so I would rather replace it for them to keep using.
