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

While many of these simple office supplies seem unimportant, they will greatly impact my students’ day-to-day operations including student work, valuable posters, and labels for students to reference on a daily basis.

Other requested items such as batteries will allow for easier transitions so that we can use our visual timers throughout our room and school day.

The requested birthday pencils are something my students look forward to picking outcome their special day and add extra joy to our kid's birthdays. Thank you very much for your consideration!
