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

I love working with my students in math. They are such great thinkers and are determined to solve all their math problems.

They are such amazing students.

My 3rd Graders work so hard in math and they strive to reach their goals. I teach math to the entire 3rd Grade and our air conditioner has not been working for several years. September is hot, the room gets stuffy and it makes it so difficult for students to work when it is so warm. They need water breaks and they get sluggish and find it difficult to concentrate on what they are doing. I am requesting a dyson fan. This fan has no blades so I won't have to worry about any of my students getting hurt. I want to keep the fan near our reading corner. It will keep our room cool and it also purifies our air which will give my students clean air to breathe.

I would love my students to get a great start for the new school year! I would make such a huge impact if my students had a COOL classroom to solve all their math problems.

Thank you for your support!
