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

This is my 1st year teaching, and I have learned that a happy child will succeed in the classroom. Often, in the school, parents will not have the necessary materials for their child to come to school. With this help, you will fund my classroom with fresh supplies for the students to help them through the day. With this project, I have also added chairs that I know will help for small group instruction. With the chairs the school has given to me now, we are limited with space in the little table we have.
