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

Please consider funding this project to help my third-grade class of 14 students!

This list includes many flexible seating options for students to choose throughout the day to increase their focus during instructional time.

This list also includes a variety of book titles and boxed sets for my students. My students have a love for reading and often request specific books they are interested in, or the few that are not in our classroom library yet!

Our third-grade class truly appreciates any donations for this project as it will help them grow and make a difference in their learning every day!
