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 are excited to be in 2nd grade next year! In order to keep everyone working and organized, I would like to provide them with the supplies they need for the year. We are asking for pencils, notebooks, crayons, white board markers, pencils boxes, and expo markers!

Your donation will provide my students with the classroom basics we need for this school year!

We will start off the school year by organizing all of our materials in our personal pencils boxes. The white board markers and erasers will help us do our daily math warm ups. The notebooks will help us tell our stories through morning journals.
