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

The resources I have requested will benefit my students in a variety of ways! The pencils, dry erase boards, markers and erasers will allow students to complete everyday activities! The ink and other supplies will also provide for hands-on learning, quick informative assessments, and resources to aid in the teaching of core content as well as independent practice. The materials requested in this project are everyday necessities that many people take for granted but would help my students out immensely! It will eliminate one of the many challenges the students face on a daily basis. They wouldn't need to worry!
