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

Many times, we find our students sitting and learning. I want to provide a place where my students can learn while standing. I would love to have whiteboards all throughout our class. With your donation, I would be able to do just that. Have vertical thinking areas where we can graph and compute!

Math should be able to get done anywhere, not just in our seats and on paper!

Allow me to have my kids learn using more than just one learning tool or feel limited.
