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 an enthusiastic third-grade teacher, I believe every child deserves the best tools to flourish and explore their creativity. Obviously, my students are kids who love learning; they are bursting with imagination and curiosity. They often don't have the basic supplies that would really help make their learning experiences special. I am reaching out today, hoping to secure an investment in these quality tools: Paper Mate Arrowhead Pink Pearl Cap Erasers, X-ACTO Electric Crayon Sharpeners, and Pilot FriXion Erasable Marker Pens. These materials will make daily classroom activities not only interesting but also afford them ample opportunities to practice their creativity without the fear of making mistakes.

My aim is to provide a motivating and organized learning environment where every child can feel empowered to participate fully.

With these supplies, my students will have hands-on projects, work with their colleagues, and make artistic skills. They also come from very diverse backgrounds and show incredible resiliency and determination. I would be thankful if you supported this project. In this way, you will be helping them shine in their own ways and investing in their futures, not just donating supplies. Thank you for considering supporting our classroom!
