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 will use the supplies requested to support my ESL learners during their journey to acquire a new language. Many items are essentials such as binders, pens, highlighters, and English learning books. This project also includes items like giant Jenga and Bingo games for English learners, and some pillows and a carpet for flexible seating. I hope that you decide to positively impact my students.

Thank you in advance for your support!

My ESL learners are students with great determination and eager to learn. It is fascinating to experience their hard work and dedication. I would like to encourage them by providing them with supplies for a safe and comfortable place to learn.

Mrs. Dominguez
Grades 6-8
