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

I am excited to start this journey and want to be able to support my students to the best of my ability! With crayons, snacks, markers, and more.

Caring is sharing and I will give what I can, with your support I can do even more!

The snacks are providing energy and nutrients between meals. I am requesting these snacks because it helps keep them full and focused. The writing tools will be used for projects, free draw, and other activities. The dry erase markers are great for whiteboard activities, and group work. Fidget tools are for my calm down corner or even at their desk, for when they need a break. The goals is that every student will be able to have tools for this upcoming school year and the classroom will be fully stocked.
