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

With the start of a new school year, we are in need of basic supplies in my first grade classroom. Among these supplies are some of the most important - pencils, glue sticks, dry erase markers, and dry erase whiteboard erasers. We use each and every one of these items in our classroom daily. Whether we are sharpening our writing skills, making fun crafts, or sharing our ideas on whiteboards, these items are sure to be used and loved.

By donating to this project, you are helping first graders succeed.

Please consider helping me continue to support our little learners.
