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

My students have been working hard, having fun, and thriving! When they first came to kindergarten, the majority of my class did not speak or understand English. With hard work, determination and a growth mindset, my students have grown by leaps and bounds!

They deserve to celebrate their hard work, accomplishments, and the many memorable kindergarten milestones!

I am requesting 100th day materials such as medals, bracelets, and pencils, which they can proudly wear and use to show their completion of the first 100 days of school. Also requested are paw printed stationary kits, stampers, and tote bags for the end of year celebration. These items will be presented on the last day of school along with a certificate. My students also enjoy celebrating their birthdays with their classmates so I am requesting birthday crowns, small gift bags and items such as play-doh and mini drawing boards to be gifted to them on their special day.

Thank you for considering our project to celebrate my amazing kindergartners. We appreciate your support!
