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

It's officially 4th quarter! My students and I have successfully made it through 3/4 of the 24-25 school year and we need a little support to make it to the finish line! Throughout the year I like to keep a running list of items I have run out of and need to restock, items that students frequently ask for that I do not currently have, and items that would increase organization and functionality as well as provide additional support to my students.

My students and I need support in restocking, replacing, and making overall improvements to my room for a successful end of the school year!

I am requesting floor pillows and ottomans for additional flexible seating options, a lazy susan, 3 tiered cart, and magnetic rack to hold fidgets, slime, and other sensory items, a bulletin board to place near my desk and display items given to me by my students, phone chargers for student use, calm strips for sensory stimulation and support with anxiety, and a few boxes of juice pouches for my thirsty students to access from my care closet!

Thank you so much for helping my students "sprint to the finish line.”
