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

This winter has been rough in PreK. We are trying to teach students to use tissues instead of sleeves for snot and although they are no longer going home with snot covered shirts, we are out of Kleenex! Going into allergy season, we really need some more Kleenex.

My students love to write!

We have gone through so much paper and markers this year that it's crazy. We are almost out of cardstock, our journals are almost full and the state of our markers and colored pencils is abysmal! We really need better organization to make distributing supplies quicker and easier and I would love to be able to provide new writing materials for my students to finish out the year strong and creatively!
