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

kindergarten is such an important time in a child's life. I want my young students to have the basic supplies in order to be successful in and out of school. I am requesting folders so my student can have a place to store their homework and classwork.

My students will use the folders to reinforce their alphabet, grammar, and math skills.

The homework folders will help to build a good connection between the parents and the school. I will use the folders to share school flyers and other important events. I am also requesting short pencils that will help my students with their writing, as well as with fine motor-skills. The name tags will be used at the beginning of the year so students can learn their names and build strong friendships. By donating to our project, you will enable my students to have the right tools to learn and be successful.
