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 a first-year teacher looking to gather supplies to make sure my students have the necessary items to start their school year. Access to materials such as a paper trimmer and ringed index cards will support me in providing individualized study and practice packs for my students.

Providing my students with basic materials and tools such as folders, highlighters, and glue sticks that can be used in a variety of content areas will help them start the year off right.

Supplies like scissors and clipboards will be incredibly useful tools that my students can use in all subject areas throughout the year. Thank you for your generosity in helping supply our classroom with the materials my students need!
