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

A colorful, well organized classroom is always inviting and fun for youngsters! We are in need of door and bulletin board decorations for students to put their names on and have ownership. We are also in need of name tags to use for students to put their names on and use in pencil boxes, folders, and other art activity projects. They are also used in the beginning of school for all of us to get to know each other. We are always doing educational art projects that relate to our units and we are in need of construction paper. Keeping our tablets safe is very important and we are in need of some computer sleeves. Any support you can provide us with will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
