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

My first grade students are full of curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning. Each day, they come into our classroom eager to explore new ideas, work together, and grow as readers, writers, and thinkers. Their excitement is contagious, and it's a joy to guide their learning journey.

This project will help us restock important tools like markers for writing and creating, paper for practicing new skills, and tape for hands-on projects and classroom organization.

We also need new student mailboxes to keep work organized, privacy dividers to help students focus during independent tasks, and lamination sheets to protect reusable learning materials.

These resources may seem simple, but they make a big difference in helping our classroom run smoothly and supporting all kinds of learners. With your help, my students will have the tools they need to stay engaged, focused, and proud of their work every day. Thank you for supporting our growing first graders!
