it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As we gear up for a brand-new school year, I want to ensure my students enter a clean, organized, and welcoming learning environment. My kindergarteners thrive on structure, creativity, and fun—and having the right supplies is key to making each day feel special and successful.
To support my students, I am requesting items like sheet protectors and laminating sheets to preserve learning materials, dry erase markers for interactive lessons, and stickers and birthday crowns to celebrate each child and boost morale.
Additionally, Clorox wipes and Lysol spray will help keep our classroom clean and safe, ensuring a healthy space for learning.
These simple yet essential supplies will help build a joyful and functional classroom where every student can shine.
