Celebrating 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 are high-use items that we are running low on. We need to restock! Our dry-erase markers are often used for small group brainstorming sessions. The colored markers and pencils are used for 2D student models of scientific principles. The glue is used primarily for their 3D models. The pencil sharpeners will replace ours which are on their last legs.
These items will help to bring color and life to the projects and ideas of my students who are almost all from underrepresented racial backgrounds.
Please help provide our students will some of the basic and essential classroom supplies that help a classroom function and thrive.
