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

We use so many different games and activities in Kindergarten, but they often get damaged or worn out. Having a laminator right in our classroom to use whenever we need it will help keep our materials in the best possible condition.

I love creating new activities and games for my students and funding this project will help keep these activities in great shape year after year.

This tool will support student learning by providing them with materials and work that is colorful and in good working order. Kindergarten students love new games and I will be able to provide them with so many new opportunities to practice new work.
