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

Hi! I’m a brand new teacher teaching grades 3/4 with Autism specific students. We are in need of noise cancelling headphones for my students who are sensitive to noise, as well as headsets for each student to use with their Chromebooks. Also, we are in need of art supplies (scissors and paints) as we have none in my new room. I’m also seeking board games to work on social skills, team building, cooperation and following directions. Please help me supply my new classroom with these critical needs, thank you so much!
