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

There are some supplies that are needed daily in a middle school classroom. One of these items is facial tissue. It is astounding how many tissues I go through each month--boxes and boxes. If even one cold or flu hits the school, the sneezing commences and lasts for weeks!

Along with facial tissue, paper is needed daily in an English classroom.

I am trying to encourage students to recycle, and using recycled copy paper to print their projects is a start. Another need for paper is to collaborate with others by sharing their ideas on table charts. Although we use these sparingly, these charts are expensive and I am not able to afford them on my own. Students--especially English learners--love to share their ideas in writing first before sharing with the rest of the group or class, and these table charts work perfectly for that.

Thank you for your consideration of this project!
