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

"Look for the bare necessities. The simple bare necessities."- from Disney's The Jungle Book

Every year I try and provide all of the general supplies for my classroom, including pencils, erasers, notebooks, and more.

Unfortunately, this can get quite expensive. To try and conserve paper, we use dry erase boards and markers daily! At this time, we are in need of new dry erase boards. Our boards are getting very old.

I'm also requesting extra dry erase markers and reading trackers.

By helping to fund this project, you will be putting important supplies into the hands of children. These materials will allow my students to master skills they need to be successful lifelong learners.
