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

As a Safe and Caring Team member, I work specifically with behavior concerns/ issues that our school sees on a day to day basis. What makes my kids special is that they need the extra love or attention at school to be successful.

With your donation I am able to create a safe space in my classroom that provides them with sensory items, journals, and a room divider.

This will help give them the space and privacy they need when feeling overwhelmed.

Items such as posters, stickers, basketball, chalkboard signs, and lanyards would be used to encourage their interests and coordinates with lesson plans.
