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 want to be able to provide my students with the necessary materials to start of the school year and to replenish our existing supply.

With these supplies, my students will be able to successfully learn basic kindergarten skills through multiple mediums!

They will focus on mastering their name, the alphabet, and numbers through fun art activities and practice.

The materials I am requesting are materials we use everyday in kindergarten like pencil boxes, glue sticks, crayons, colored paper and more! My students are excited about their first year in elementary school and eager to learn. Please help me prepare my students for success!
