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 classroom is a place where creativity, learning, and independence thrive. To help my students do their best, we need essential supplies and simple organization tools that make a big difference in our day-to-day success.

I am asking for basic materials like crayons, pencils, scissors, and laminating sheets.

These items will fuel creativity and hands-on learning. These are the tools my students use daily to engage with lessons, express themselves, and complete activities.

But keeping these tools organized is just as important as having them. That’s why I’m also requesting crayon containers and toothbrush holders. These simple items will give each student a personal space to store their supplies, teaching them responsibility and saving valuable classroom time that’s often lost to digging through cluttered bins.

With these materials, students will be equipped and empowered to take charge of their learning. They’ll be able to grab what they need quickly and keep their supplies neat. Clean, accessible, and organized tools reduce stress, improve focus, and support the structure that young learners thrive on.

Thank you for supporting our classroom and helping us stay sharp, bright, and organized all year long!
