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

They are going to use the supplies before lessons as intensives for their good behaviors. Students at these ages are like little sponges they absorb everything but at early morning they are sleepy and they need some help with supplies that elicit their participation

The goal for this project is to "bright" the little stars in the early morning.

These students are coming from low income families who are not able to buy supplies for their learning. It is difficult for a child to learn with no motivation. I am requesting alphabet sounds teaching tubs, a play cash register, and supply caddies for my students.

My students are so special because they are learning something new every day as early as 6:30 am.
