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

In kindergarten, we are busy little bees! Every day, my students are diving into the world of letters and numbers, but learning these foundational skills takes a lot of practice. To help us grow, we are requesting copy paper, sheet protectors, and dry erase markers.

While these might seem like simple office supplies, in a kindergarten classroom, they are magic tools.

* Sheet Protectors & Markers: These turn a standard piece of paper into a "Magic Drawing Board." By sliding our math grids and handwriting guides into these protectors, my students can practice their numbers and letters over and over again. It takes the fear out of making mistakes—they can just wipe it away and try again!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
