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

My students come to school every day ready to learn and explore. My students need classroom essentials such as left hand scissors, glue sticks, and laminating pouches. It is the end of a busy school year and we need to replenish our classroom supplies for next school year. My students will use the scissors and Sharpies markers daily for our small group English Language arts lessons. We will use the manila envelope and laminating pouches to protect and organize our learning centers!

Your donation to this project will provide my students with classroom essentials that will assist our learning!

Thank you for supporting our classroom!
