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

Our classroom is a busy, creative, and caring space where students grow as learners and as people. Throughout the year, we go through a lot of essential supplies - things like pencils, notebooks, glue sticks, Kleenex, copy paper, etc. These may seem like small items, but they make a huge difference in keeping our classroom running smoothly and helping every student succeed.

Your support will make a real impact, helping students stay focused, organized, and ready to learn every day.

By this point in the year, many of our basic supplies are running low. Students need sharpened pencils to write and complete math assignments, glue sticks to glue handouts into their interactive notebooks, Kleenex for those sniffly days, and other day-to-day items that support learning. Folders help keep student work organized and the bags are given to students with sorted supplies both at the beginning and end of the year, as well as student work that is returned to them. Replenishing these supplies will help us finish the school year strong and ensure no student goes without the tools they need.

Common supplies needed in our classroom are boxes of tissue; glue sticks, Post-its, copy paper and notebooks for interactive notebooks for both math and science; storage bins to organize supplies for group work;

Your support will make a real impact, helping students stay focused, organized, and ready to learn every day.
