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

Greetings! I am Mr. Alexander, a first year teacher with a passion for helping children excel. I want to provide my students some essential items for this school year. Included in this listing are some floor cushions that I would use to have reading time on our new carpet, located near our window.

My vision is to have reading time on the floor and to use those cushions, instead of having them sit at their desks all day.

Also included is a white board that will be used to provide an additional learning space on other side of the classroom. Please, if you are able, help me give my students an amazing year in learning.
