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 Students

They are the hardworking third graders looking to learn and love about writing and science. They are eager to learn and look forward to coming to class every day. They show interest in a variety of topics. Life long learners!

My Project

Providing students with pencils and erasers daily. Many days students do not come with supplies needed. Their parents and families may not be able to supply things needed for the classroom like pencils and erasers after the first week of school. With the school year halfway through, your support will help us get to the end of the school year and through state testing. We write in a journal daily and take notes on foldable and both science in writing class. Please consider helping out this wonderful class; every dollar counts.
