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

Please consider donating to fund a purchase of the last few items I need to establish my second grade classroom in my first year of teaching. Each item on the list will help me maintain my classroom as safe, colorful, and organized. All items are ones that in the first two weeks of school, I have realized would really help me in my teaching, or ones that students use quickly and will be used all year such as soap, tissues, and pencils. I appreciate your support in providing a rich education for my second graders!
