Help me give my students supplies that will help them explore their creativity.

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 eager to learn, explore, and express their creativity every day! They love hands-on activities that bring lessons to life, whether it's crafting a story with colorful illustrations, building a math project with construction paper, or working together on a group poster. However, we are running low on essential classroom supplies like crayons, scissors, construction paper, and glue sticks.

Having these materials available allows my students to fully engage in their learning, develop fine motor skills, and express themselves in meaningful ways.

Your support will ensure that every child in my classroom has access to the tools they need to create, learn, and grow. Your generosity will ensure that every student has the materials they need to succeed and enjoy learning!
