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 loud and active students love to draw. Our paper supply is coming to an end and I would hate to tell my students they could only have one paper at a time due to low paper stock. I would love to leave my paper out there so they can go wild with their imagination . We use so much construction and paint paper daily that we need your help please! Do you want this teacher to say no! only one paper? Your help is greatly appreciated and it would make lots of smiles in my classroom. Thank you again for your help!
