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

This is my first year as a teacher, and I want my TKs to have lots of toys and a carpet to sit on! My goal is to have items that help with social/emotional skills and to have a good pretend area for them to use!

My school is Title I, and I want to give these kids a great classroom full of amazing developmental toys and some essentials.

Please make their classroom a reality! I love that there are people out there willing to donate. I want my students to have a safe space!
