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

Hi everyone! These items will help my students get out of their comfort zone this year and have a smooth year! Some of the items on the list are supplies needed for the school year such as tissues, crayons, and markers. Other items such as the VR headset, stools, and rewards are to make learning more enjoyable and exciting.

My goals are that students would have the opportunity to experience things that they may not have the access to at home.

I hope that students would come to school each day excited to learn something new.

Thank you all for your consideration!
