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

Whiteboards, dry erase markers, pencils, paper, erasers, and crayons are used daily in third grade. Third graders are fresh out of their primary grades, which means we use technology to learn and explore the world. Headphones ensure that each student is able to engage privately and solely with their materials. While third graders are entering a new phase of learning, we still engage in so many hands-on activities at such a young age. It's so important to make learning engaging and exciting for students, especially when they're so young!! We love to do crafts, engage in group projects and assignments, write letters to pen-pals, and collect science and math data!

Materials in this project will go towards ensuring that every single student is prepared to participate in learning that is captivating and engaging.

By donating to our project, you will be providing a class of third graders with basic school supplies to make it through the school year. You will also be providing us with a pair of headphones per child for technology time, as we continue to prepare our children to succeed and excel in the 21st century. Each child deserves a quality education filled with engaging and rigorous content. Thank you in advance for considering helping us out as we set our students up for success!
