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

My students are in third grade and they love coming to school! They love reading and math rotations and love going to literacy centers and math tubs! They are enthusiastic learners and love every resource I have been able to give them! I love how much fun we have in the classroom all while learning!

My students come from low-income houses and many of them are learning English for the first time.

I am asking for copy paper, dry erase markers, and dry erase boards for the classroom. Specifically, the copy paper will be used for making books that my students can take home to practice reading with! Dry erase markers are always needed in every classroom to make things last longer!
