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

Do you like going outside to do sidewalk chalk? Do you like going outside to practice building numbers? Do you like to go outside to play hop scotch? These boxes are exactly what our students need to hold their sidewalk chalk, cubes, and counters to use for outside play games during recess, PE, and circle time.

We love taking our young scholars outside to explore, learn, and build as we are learning.

Help us give our students game boxes to keep their learning tools like dice, crayons, counters, colorful chalk, erasers, etc....These clear boxes are a necessity for our students to hold tools for a variety of games we play in our class.
