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 hope to incite joy and excitement in my students as we embark on our educational journey this school year. I am looking to get some basic classroom supplies to help make our transition back to school a great one!

I have an amazing group of third-grade scholars who are very eager to learn!

I want to make sure that my students have what they need in order to be safe, healthy, and successful. The requested supplies of Kleenex tissues, disinfecting wipes, and hand sanitizers will aid my students in taking ownership of their health and wellness. Cleaning their hands often and keeping their desks clean is going to be very important to having a healthy classroom. A clean environment promotes a positive atmosphere, which can enhance students' mood and reduce stress. This can lead to a more engaging and enjoyable learning experience for all.

I am also asking for a few other classroom essentials, including pencils, name tags, a TPT gift card, snacks, and a few high-interest picture books that will be used for some creative back to school activities. I am excited to start a new school year and watch my kids learn and grow.

With your help and support, I hope to give my scholars the tools needed to make school safe, fun, and successful!
