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

Remember being in school and having all of your much-needed and required school supplies? Well, many of my beautiful 8th graders are in need of basic supplies such as scissors, glue sticks, whiteboards, markers for chart papers, and more.

Help me provide these much-needed classroom supplies so we can all share and continue our independent as well as small-group projects.

Students will use the markers to create posters that can be used for Book Club Discussions in all of my five reading classes for this school year.

Thank you in advance for considering our project and for understanding that having basic supplies makes all the difference!
