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

Third grade is such a pivotal year in school. This is the year students stop learning to read and read to learn. It's also the year they’ll learn all the foundations for math; multiplication, division, and fractions all for the first time.

All of the supplies listed will benefit my students' third-grade learning experience and help them to be successful this school year.

Many of these items are everyday classroom needs such as folders, pencil sharpeners, and markers but I did add items to help with their interactive notebooks, novel studies, book reports, and art assignments that align with the state standards.
