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'm asking for these supplies so that my students, who are mostly low-income, have the opportunity to engage in learning in a fun and comfy way. Bean bag chairs will allow for flexible seating around my room, which some of the students have never experienced.

The dry-erase boards and markers are a fun way for them to show what they know and work out the math problems.

I'm asking for extra dry-erase markers because they are constantly being used every single day for both math and science and they dry out quickly.
