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 a fourth grade special education co-teacher for our school. I have 15 students and 6 of these students have special needs. As we enter the second half of the school year, I need to replenish our classrooms' school supplies.

From pencils, erasers, and crayons to band-aids, these are all basic school supplies that we use daily.

The classroom rug that we use for morning meetings is in desperate need of replacement. My students would love to sit and enjoy a book or play a game on a new rug that isn't so worn out.

My students are amazing, one-of-a-kind, adventurous learners who love school and are always excited to learn new concepts. I want to help my students learn in any way I can! With your support in providing essential supplies, we will be able to continue our learning journey! Thank you so much for your help.
