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

Have you ever experienced the frustration of needing some appropriate supplies to support student's learning, only to find that there's nothing around for your students to use?

My students need some essential supplies to use in the class to learn in a more fun and meaningful way.

They need some pencils to write, a couple of pocket charts to display words for reading, numbers from 1 to 120 to practice counting, and a few file organizing racks to store and charge their computers at school. They also need some card stock sheets and ink cartridges to print some necessary learning games and worksheets to practice their grade level skills in the classroom. During this winter season, my students will definitely need some Kleenex tissues to help cleaning their running noses.

It's challenging for students to perform their best when they lack the necessary supplies to accomplish their tasks. Thank you for helping us replenish our necessary supplies!
