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

Help me give my students a classroom filled with essential supplies! The materials listed will be used for everyday use in subjects like reading, writing, and math so my students can complete their work.

Items such as art markers, notebooks, and headphones will allow for easy access to everyday classroom materials and work completion.

The notebooks especially will be an extremely useful tool so my students can organize their school work by subject. The additional school supplies will help my class efficiently organize and assess their work in a productive way. The markers will allow the students to express themselves without using words.
