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

I am excited to share a project that will greatly enhance my 3rd-grade dual language students' learning experience. We are in need of Partitions Divider Shield Desk Privacy Boards, Dry Erase Boards, Black Markers, Dry erase Erasers, Mead Spiral Notebooks, Paper Mate Pencils, and Paper Mate Arrowhead Erasers.

These resources will play a crucial role in our writing and grammar activities.

The Privacy Boards will create a focused environment, allowing each student to concentrate on their work without distractions. The Dry Erase Boards and markers will facilitate interactive learning, enabling us to engage in collaborative writing exercises. Mead Spiral Notebooks, Paper Mate Pencils, and Arrowhead Erasers will provide the necessary tools for honing their writing skills.

My goal for this project is to foster a conducive space for language development. The requested items will empower my students to express themselves confidently, reinforcing grammar concepts through hands-on activities. Each student in my diverse classroom brings a unique perspective, making our learning environment rich with cultural exchange. Your support will make a lasting impact on these special students, helping them build strong language skills for a brighter future.
