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 students are fabulous five- and six-year olds who are in school for the very first time. The world has been a scary place for them for the past two years, but school is their refuge and favorite place to be!

I am requesting basic materials so that my students have the most enjoyable year in Kindergarten.

They need construction paper, pencils, glue sticks and clipboards so that we can best utilize our curriculum. Items like the 3D shapes will help us prepare for first grade, which is right around the corner!

Thank you for your support. It means the world to our youngest learners!
