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

My students are young and creative individuals. They enjoy coming to school and working cooperatively with each other.

For this project, I am requesting laminating sheets, classroom folders, and a set of magnetic spinners.

I am requesting the laminating sheets so we can laminate the classroom folders. The plastic film will allow the folders to last longer. We also plan to use the laminating sheets in order to create vocabulary cards, posters, and other class projects. These materials will be beneficial to my students and the environment. My plan is to use vocabulary cards and posters to enhance their reading and writing skills. The set of magnetic spinners will be used to play math games. These materials will be beneficial because students can use them again and again without worrying about wear and tear.

We care about our environment. This is why, we are requesting materials that will help us " Reduce, Reuse, & Recycle".

We hope you share our vision too!
