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

There is so much that goes into the day-to-day activities within a classroom. Many of those activities and ideas require a lot of resources. Replenishing and finding those resources throughout the year can often be difficult. The materials including paper, pencils, crayons, and storage bins for this DonorsChoose project are to assist in creating centers and other daily learning activities, as well as replenishing student supply boxes throughout the year. These items can be used across all subject areas. These materials are ones that are used throughout the year as students work with me in small groups. All of these resources will contribute greatly to student learning! Thank you for your support.
