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

Students need the color copy paper to duplicate assignments for fun activities for the following: 100 Days of School, Earth Day, Hispanic Heritage Month, Black History Month, Women's History Month, Arab-American Month, Autism Awareness Month and more...

In addition, I will use the white copy paper to duplicate assignments centered upon ELA (Writing questions, Identifying Central Idea, Theme, Point of View, Character Traits and Text Structure).

I will also use the copy paper to duplicate test and homework.

In addition, the copy paper will be used to duplicate Math word problems centered upon Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, Time and Fractions.

The Scotch Heavy Duty Tape will be used to posted posters, visual aids, vocabulary and charts around the classroom for the students.

Finally, the Magnetic File Wall Organizer will be used to file differentiated instructions pertaining to the subjects of ELA/Math.

Students desperately, need all of the classroom materials.
