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

I’m asking for a wagon for my students please. When we go outside, it is very difficult to hold hands and items and it would be so much easier to put all of our goodies in a wagon.

My students are a great group of kids with extensive support needs in a special day class ranging from grades K through third.

My children would absolutely love a set of trucks to play in the sand as well as books about feelings.

We would love to make some new friends both in our class and in the other classes that come out with us. Please give us the tools to understand how we feel and to treat others kindly.
