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 Students

My Project

Hello there,

Thank you for checking out my page.

My padawans (aka students) need your help! We need new white boards for phonics and spelling time. My class uses whiteboards for our ELD time for writing and throughout the day for math or how to draw tutorial videos. More pencils are always needed for student academic success! Comfy headphones helps students focus and pay attention. They will help my padawans relax and calm down as some headphones can hurt or bother them. Please help my class by donating these items!
