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

Kindergartners are excited to come to school each day because it is where they make new friends and begin to develop literacy, math, and fine motor skills. All students love new supplies, but kindergartners, in particular, need a variety of school supplies to work on their many hands-on activities.

New pencils, crayons, colored pencils, and markers make Kindergarten even more exciting and help them practice their new skills.

Having a class set of quality materials is essential so that everyone starts with the same supplies. Having their supplies will help students focus on their learning and assist families who may not be able to afford all the required materials.
