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

Hello!

Our school is working hard on being kind to everyone.

We are going to have a kindness challenge and need some resources to get us up and running! They will use the books to read and share with other classrooms explaining how to be kind to people who may be different from them. The chair will be used as a reader's chair and whoever is sharing the story will sit in front of the class in the chair! They will use the organizing materials to help organize their kindness project supplies.

Also, it is also cold and flu season and we would like to stay clean and healthy. Having these supplies will help the students keep their classrooms clean and organized. My students take pride in keeping their learning space comfortable, organized, and clean! Cleaning supplies will help keep our classroom germ-free so students stay healthy and stay at school where they continue to grow and learn! Thank you so much for helping!
