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

I am trying to create a self-sustaining, student-centered classroom for my amazing scholars!

So much time is wasted going back and forth to the teachers lounge to create engaging classroom material, and most of the time the printers are jammed, others have created huge jobs that eat up all of our prep time, or someone has managed to break the laminator, again!

I want to create a space in my classroom, where I can ensure my students will have access to engaging resources and materials whenever they are needed.

Your support with this project makes that possible!

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
