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

Our amazing first graders love to learn but sometimes our classroom environment can feel overstimulating.

That's why we need your help!

We have very little storage, and we end up storing a lot of materials on top of the students' closet. We are hoping to put materials in the Home Logic 66 Qt. Latch Lid Storage Bins so that everything looks cleaner, organized and less stimulating! We have always wanted to try the Breath Calm Anxiety Sensory Stickers Calm Strips for Anxiety but our budget has been cut time and time again. We have several students who need sensory feedback and these sensory strips will allow students to add to their sensory diets conveniently at their tables! Lastly, our students are authors! We need the TIANSE Binding Machine and the Coloroom 42 Pack Plastic Binding Combs so students can bind their writing into books to share with their peers and families. Please help my students have what they need so our learning environment is one where everyone feels important! Thank you for your help!
