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

We have reached the point of the school year where the supplies are getting low an so is the attention span of my 3rd graders. I have 20 third grade students from a low income neighborhood. Of those 20 students 17 are English language learners and 8 are special education students. I am requesting some essential school supplies as well as some flexible seating to get us through the rest of this school year. We do a lot work on our whiteboards and dry erase markers are always drying up and or disappearing along with their pencils and glue sticks.

As our supplies are getting low so is their ability to pay attention and remain on task.

Bright colorful paper can make work more fun. Wiggle stools will help my kiddos that need to get their wiggles out while they work. I hope you will consider choosing to donate to my project so that my students will feel the happiness that comes from getting new school supplies! Thank you!
