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

Please consider donating to help my classroom. All of my students come from low-income families. I already have a planned use for the materials in my classroom. They will have a place in the my room. I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door!

I would love to start the school year with the necessary materials for success.

Students use laptops for centers, and the headphones will be beneficial for students to focus. The carpet will be in the classroom bathroom, which can get slippery. My students' safety is important to me. The colorful bins will be placed on my students' tables. They will be used to keep students' pencils, crayons, and other classroom materials organized. The alphabet chart will make learning letters fun and interactive.

The donations to this project will help to improve my students' understanding and love of learning. These materials will make learning hands on and create a classroom environment that is safe and set up for student success. We will use these materials for years to come. These materials will aid in my students ' becoming lifelong learners. As the teacher, I have done extensive research and want the best for my students. With these materials, I will be able to provide the necessary materials and hands-on activities for my students to learn. I truly need your support to make this a reality. Every donation, big or small, it is appreciated. Thanks!
