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 first graders are enthusiastic learners who come to school each day with a smile. They are motivated students who strive to do their very best. I like to be able to provide them with classroom essentials to maximize their learning experience. To add color to their drawings we need crayon boxes for each student. Pencils are always a need in any classroom and by having pre-sharpened pencils available it will serve as a huge support in the classroom. We are also in need of erasers. To support literacy it would be great to have word building letter tile sets for each student for hands-on word activities. We’d like to thank you very much for your consideration and support in helping us attain these classroom essentials.
