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 2nd grade classroom is a place where students learn, grow, and build confidence every day. To help create a productive and engaging learning environment, we are seeking a variety of classroom resources that support academic success, organization, and positive behavior.

This project includes headphones and headphone adapters for technology-based learning, noise-canceling earmuffs and sound phones to help students focus during independent work and reading, and electronic timers to support smooth classroom routines and transitions.

We also need essential classroom supplies such as glue, dry erase markers, and dry erase erasers that students use daily for hands-on learning activities.

Additionally, a filing cabinet will help keep important instructional materials and student resources organized and easily accessible. Party box items will be used to celebrate student achievements, encourage positive behavior, and build a strong classroom community. With your support, these resources will help create a classroom where every student has the tools they need to learn, stay engaged, and reach their full potential. Thank you for investing in the success of our young learners!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
