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

This project will bring exciting math and science resources into our first-grade classroom! With your support, we will receive engaging math games that build number sense, hands-on science tools to explore experiments, and lab coats that make students feel like real scientists. These materials will spark curiosity and deepen understanding through play, discovery, and imagination. Students will work together to solve problems, ask questions, and investigate the world around them. Your donation helps create a fun, interactive learning environment where every child feels confident and inspired to learn every day!
