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

These Hot Dots are the hot learning item! Hot Dots are interactive pens that work alongside special books where the students can tap and listen to the book being read to them and answer questions. We would love to add a Hot Dots center to our math time so we are asking for a set for second grade as well as for first grade. These Hot Dots will ignite their fire for learning!

The rest of the supplies I am requesting will help kick start our 22-23 school year that begins in July.

The name plates and holders will help clearly label students’ desks and help preserve them for the remainder of the year. The folders will help keep us organized so there’s a specific place for everything so we can find it with ease. We are in the final stretch of this school year and hope to begin next school year with the supplies we need to hit the ground running.
