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

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. We just need your help in getting everything through our door! The large carpet will be placed in front of the classroom library that will be used by two different classes. The lamination sleeves will be used to assemble our many task boxes so students will be able to do independent work. My students have special needs, so the chair bands will come in handy for those that have to fidget.

By donating to our project, you will help create a more welcoming classroom that meets the needs of the special education students that come in the door.
