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 very curious. I am constantly trying to find materials that will make learning varied and engaging. When my students are having fun, they are learning and to me that is the most important thing. I want to continue inspiring and making a difference and with your help, I can continue helping my students reach their goals.

I am requesting pencils, dry erase markers and other basic supplies for our classroom.

It's the middle of the school year and our pencil supply is extremely low. Students also are in need of dry erase markers to use for intervention/tutoring class and as well as in whole class activities. The cardstock paper will also be useful to help print out enrichment/center games and certificates for recognition.

Thank you in advance!
