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

As a teacher working with students that have disabilities and or are English Language Learners, references are so important and must be available to them while learning English and or math skills.

Having the basic school supplies is so important to support organization and engagement.

If you have ever taught or been in a middle school classroom, you know that these students school use a lot of materials and often require replacements. Your donations would provide the everyday materials needed while supporting organization, and an engaging learning environment.

The everyday consumables such as pencils, binders, notebooks, colored pencils occasionally are lost or misplaced causing some students to become distracted. By supporting routines while also teaching the importance of hands on activities and cleanliness.
