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

Dear donors, Classroom basics are tools that are used daily in our classroom. I am looking forward to support my upcoming students with resources that I know they use constantly so I created this project to support my students with tools they need to thrive in class.

Glue sticks, stables, scissors, college lined paper, folders, pencils are the items that I am requesting for this project.

My students will use all the materials being requested daily for multiple subjects like reading and math. A lot of the materials are reusable therefore my future fifth graders can also benefit from all the tools.
