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

These are some of the basic items our families donate every year to make sure our TK children start off the year right! Thank you so much for helping us stock up before the school year starts!

My TK students start off every year eager to learn and grow.

I am eager to help them feel comfortable and build a classroom environment that is colorful and inviting, to build enthusiasm and love of learning. The students will use these colorful folders to bring information and projects home, and are always appreciated by my students, as are the report covers, which we use to cover our Alphabet Books. We use batteries year round for different outdoor activities like our bubble machine. The laminating sheets are to use with our class laminator to protect some of their work and materials. The books are books that my class this year enjoyed and I would love to add to my classroom library. The glue sticks are needed for countless projects, and the mini vacuum cleaner is to keep our areas neat! We teach the children how to use it, so they can feel responsible and proud. Thank you so much for any donation you can make!!
