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

By contributing these items to my classroom, you will be helping make my vision come alive for my students (your children). I feel like my room looks amazing, but these items will really help elevate the experience for the students, and be able to make it a calm and organized environment for me as well!

I want Camp Clausen to be a fully inclusive environment with many different tools to help my students learn, stay engaged, and stay focused.

Please contribute what you can if you can, I greatly appreciate it!
