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

I am looking forward to meeting my new students for this school year. I want to welcome them with a positive environment and all the supplies they need. When they see their boxes with their new pencils, sharpeners, markers, and other supplies, they will be so excited and ready to start their learning. The first day of class for young first graders should be exciting and fun.

They will especially love their writing journals because they will be able to see the progress in their writing as time passes.

I'm also excited to see their progress and be able to show their parents. Thank you for your support.
